25, still has a long career ahead of him. I'd certainly take him for a reasonable fee, fantastic player on his day.

Madrid want their money back.
Good player but would rather keep the cash to help fund our own bid for Falcao.
That would surely depend on who Falcao would choose, Madrid might already know the answer to that, hence the Benzema offer.
Benzema has also been offered to Arsenal.
But what if for the price of a Falcao or Cavani, we could secure both Benzema and Higuain...
The reason he's been offered to Arsenal is because they've made enquiries and wanted him before, as you well know :-)
Cavani's been at the top of our wish list for a good few transfer windows now and this one will be no different.
The only difference this time is the person who's asked to go and get him.

Obviously an upgrade, but considering De Laurentiis' most recent comments I'd say we are a loong way from getting Cavani.
De Laurentiis said:"But if some nutter is willing to pay £60m, which would mean a net fee of £54m for Napoli, we are ready to listen to the offer.
Far too much for the Uruguayan. £60mil could probably get us (for example) Benzema, Isco and Benat.

I would take Benzema and Higuain as a tag team in a heart beat. If it came to a choice between the two I prefer Higuain, particularly because he knows Kun so well.
I actually don't think we have a hope in hell of getting Cavani. It would turn into another De Rossi saga and De Laurentiis would be impossible to negotiate with.
So I reckon two (Benzema and Higuain) for the price of one (Cavani/Falcao) would be great business.

Surely not for 35 mil. eur., we'd be robbed in that case.
He was paid that much because he was an amazing, probably the world's biggest striking talent back then and much more was expected from him than he actually did since he came to Madrid.
Don't see absolutely anything that would justify that price now and considering how City was way more conservative at transfer market in last 2-3 transfer periods I can't see that money being paid for him nor it should be.
25 millions eur. would be some fair price, I guess.

Assuming Mancini stays yes?
