Edinson Cavani Club Career
A talented individual, Edinson Cavani played at several youth league clubs, namely Club Nacional, Club Penarol, Club Remeros, Club Salto Uruguay, Club Ferro Carril, before he joined the U-19 set-up of Danubio.
It did not take long for the Uruguayan to become a part of the Danubio senior team either and he eventually also helped the club win the Uruguayan Championship in his only year in the first team. Eventually, a lot of Europe’s top clubs, including Juventus & AC Milan were interested in the player, however, Cavani made the smart choice of joining Palermo, who were good at developing youngsters.
His goal-scoring antics in his second season at the club became so good that people started to call him ‘El Matador’. In his last year at Palermo, he drove the club to European qualification but unfortunately missed out on reaching the Champions League. However, it did not take long before clubs took notice of this 23-year-old striker, who was lighting it up at Palermo.
Napoli snapped up Cavani on a loan deal with an obligation to buy next year. The Uruguayan had a brilliant campaign as he netted 25 Serie A goals and became the highest league goal scorer in a single season for Napoli at the time – a record which was later broken by Gonzalo Higuain. In his final season at the club, Cavani became the top goal-scorer in Serie A with 29 goals to his name.
A big money-move was on the cards and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) eventually prised the player away from Naples for a fee of €64million, the fifth-largest transfer in history and the record signing in the French league at the time. Cavani won the Ligue 1 title six times with PSG, while he also won the Ligue 1 Player of the Year in 2017 and the Ligue 1 Golden Boot twice. On 27th January 2018, Cavani became the highest goal-scorer in the history of PSG. The Uruguayan eventually left the club in 2020 and joined one of the most successful clubs in England, Manchester United.
In yet another fine season for Cavani, he was the club’s third-highest goalscorer in the Premier League in his debut campaign as he guided Manchester United to a 2nd place finish in the league while he also helped the Old Trafford outfit reach the Europa League final.
Edinson Cavani International Career
A hero for the national team, Cavani broke into Uruguay’s setup in 2008 and also managed to score on his debut in a 2-2 draw against Colombia.
However, his first moment of pride came in the 2010 World Cup, when he assisted Luis Suarez for a goal that led to Uruguay winning the group and advancing to the knockout stages – a huge feat for the country after failing to qualify for the last World Cup in 2006.
Cavani helped his nation finish 4th in the 2010 World Cup while he also scored in the bronze medal match against Germany, which Uruguay failed to win.
The Uruguayan’s next moment of fame came when he finished as the top scorer in the CONMEBOL 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification as he scored 10 goals. He also went on to help his country reach the quarter-final of the 2018 World Cup but could not contribute in the latter stages due to a hamstring injury in the Round of 16 game.
Currently, Cavani is the 3rd highest capped player in the Uruguayan national team while he is also the 2nd highest goal-scorer in the nation’s history with 53 goals, 11 behind Luis Suarez.
