The sports director of the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)Leonardo has confirmed the departure of Uruguayan Edinson Cavani (33 years old) and the Brazilian Thiago Silva (35) of the club at the end of the season, as reported by the French press on Saturday.
In an interview with “Le Journal du Dimanche”, which appears this Sunday, Leonardo confirms Silva's news, which until this week were rumors, and information about Cavani.
“It was a very difficult decision. They are players who have marked the history of the club: we always ask ourselves if we have to continue part of the way together or if it is better to avoid the year to spare. The stories were very nice, but yes, we arrived in the end, “says Leonardo in an answer, advanced by the weekly.
According to the sports director, it was the “logical” decision, both economically and with a view to the next generation.
“We may be wrong, I don't know, it is never the perfect time. Now, the Champions League is still on the horizon and the idea is to continue the competition with them until the end of August,” he said.
