Paris Saint-Germain star Edinson Cavani: I could return to Napoli one day

Edinson Cavani has said he could return to his former club Napoli later in his career because of the "special" times he enjoyed there.

Paris Saint-Germain striker Cavani played for the Serie A club from 2010 until 2013 and said both the supporters and his teammates made him feel "legendary" during a prolific spell.

The Uruguay international recently signed a new deal that commits him to French champions PSG until 2020 but said he could consider a Napoli return when that contract runs out.

He told Sky Sport Italia: "I had very special moments in their blue jersey. I think that was the time when everything changed for me.

"My teammates and the fans made me feel legendary. It's normal that you want to go back to where you were given so much and had such a beautiful time.

"For that, I say we will see at the end of my current contract.

"I don't know what will happen after PSG but, if I decide to change clubs, I might choose to return to Napoli and then go back home [to Uruguay]."

He said he missed Argentina but did not want to go back there yet, adding: "I want to finish my career at a high level and I hope it will happen.

"After that, I want to decide when I retire and I don't want football to leave me behind."
