Blues will need to go to £53million after French moneybags Paris Saint-Germain began an all-out assault to persuade Cavani to leave Napoli for Ligue 1. And with the French champions prepared to meet Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis’ demands for the full buy-out clause written into the Uruguay striker’s contract, it leaves Chelsea facing a significant dilemma. While Jose Mourinho wants the Uruguayan, believing he is the ideal line-leader for next season’s revamped team, Chelsea have signaled they will not be held to ransom. Chelsea want Rooney & Lewandowski Rooney and Lewandowski head Chelsea’s striker wish-list after Cavani price rockets (Matt Barlow, Daily Mail) Chelsea will step up their pursuit of Wayne Rooney and Robert Lewandowski after Paris Saint-Germain tabled a £43million bid for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani yesterday. Roman Abramovich does not want to be dragged into a bidding war for top target Cavani even though the French champions, bankrolled by Qatari billions, are still £11m short of triggering the Uruguayan’s release clause. Abramovich smashed the British transfer record when he paid Liverpool £50m for Fernando Torres in January 2011 and, although he is determined to support Jose Mourinho in the transfer market he is wary of another massive investment in a 26-year-old. Arsenal target Gareth Barry Cash ‘n Barry (Shaun Custis, Sun) Arsenal have targeted England’s Gareth Barry. SunSport can reveal the Gunners have been checking out Barry’s position at Manchester City — where he has a year left to run on his £100,000-a-week deal. Arsenal would not match those wages and do not necessarily see the 32-year-old as a regular starter. But they could put a two-year deal on the table on lower terms which may interest Barry.
