Cavani left Manchester United this summer following the expiration of his contract and is now a free agent.
Many sides have been touted with the Uruguayan’s signature, including Real Sociedad, who have just sold Alexander Isak to Newcastle United.
However, Los Che have seemingly secured Cavani’s signing, with Gattuso saying:
The Italian lauded the veteran striker, saying:
He continued,
Cavani may replace his Uruaguayan compatriot Maxi Gomez as the latter is heading to Fenerbahce, per Fabrizio Romano.
Valencia have kicked off their season with a 1-0 win over Girona and a 1-0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao.
Gattuso may be looking to gain more firepower as Valencia build on a 9th placed finish from last season.
The La Liga side sold Goncalo Guedes to Wolverhampton Wanderers, leaving Gattuso in need of more attacking reinforcements.
Former Manchester United striker Cavani may flourish in La Liga
Gattuso speaks highly of Cavani and for good reason, given that he is renowned for being one of Europe’s most potent goalscorers.
He scored 200 goals for Paris Saint-Germain and 104 goals for Napoli.
Known as ‘El Matador’, the veteran forward has been wreaking havoc among opposition defenders for years.
His first season at Manchester United saw him score 17 goals in 39 appearances.
However, Cavani’s final season at Old Trafford was somewhat unconvincing amidst a disappointing campaign for the Red Devils.
The former Napoli striker managed just two goals and an assist in 20 appearances.
That isn’t to say that the Uruguayan won’t flourish for Gattauso’s side as he has shown throughout his career that he can adapt to any league.
‘El Matador’ brings an abundance of experience to La Liga and his knowledge will only help the younger talent at the club.
