Paris St Germain's Cavani turns down 1 million euros offer to give up penalty

Edinson Cavani

Edinson Cavani has reportedly turned down €1million offer to pass on penalty duties to PSG teammate Neymar. According to a report in Spanish daily El Pais, the Uruguayan was offered the payment, which amounts to the bonus he would receive should he finish as the club's top goalscorer in Ligue 1 this season.

Neymar was seen arguing with Cavani over taking the penalty during the club's 2-0 win over Lyon on September 18.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been negotiating with Cavani in a bid to reach an agreement. The Spanish daily claimed the PSG squad is backing Cavani, with the Uruguayan designated as the club's penalty taker before Neymar's arrival.
