Cavani lands in the bat's nest ahead of their Atletico tie

Veteran striker Edinson Cavani has arrived in Valencia, where he'll sign a two-year contract with the LaLiga side as a free agent.

A warm welcome was organized for the 35-year-old Uruguayan forward in front of Mestalla Stadium.

According to Marca, the terms have been discussed over the last few days between the club and the player's brother and agent, Fernando Cavani.

Cavani was offered much more money in Nice, but his desire to play in LaLiga has been definitive.

"Cavani is seduced by the idea of ​​being an idol at Valencia and raising the spirits of the club and the fans. The Cavani era begins in Valencia..." Marca reports on Monday afternoon.

However, the former Red Devil won't make his debut for the Bats tonight but will watch his new teammates as Genaro Gattuso's slot faces Atletico Madrid in the ultimate game of the round.
