It’s been a summer of rumour and speculation, the Wayne Rooney saga continues as does the Luis Suarez speculation, but nothing substantial has happened. Finally, the first big transfer of the summer has happened Edinson Cavani to Paris Saint Germain for $55 million.

$55 million man Edinson Cavani

PSG, with the Saudi Oil Baron owners are desperate to make an impact on the Worlds soccer stage and it looks like they will go to all ends to get there. The $55 million fee is a staggering amount of money and a figure that puts Cavani 4th on the all-time list of all time transfers fees, in front of the likes of Luis, Zindine Zadane and even the recent Neymar transfer. Cavani is a good 25 goal a year striker but not a player in the same category of Ronaldo, Messi etc. With all that being said, the question must be asked. Is Cavani worth $55 million?
