Having had a number of offers from a few clubs in Europe, South America and Asia, it was Valencia that Cavani chose as his next destination: "I had a desire to play in Spain, and also because it was a club that really showed me their interest. And honestly, I liked that challenge because I listened a lot to what was said about Valencia and its problems, so that sincerely motivated me, and that's why I decided to come to Valencia. Hopefully what one imagined can be fulfilled, that we can do it with our teammates and have a great season".
