was always the club's primary transfer
target this summer, ahead of Manchester
United's Wayne Rooney.
Cavani completed the EUR64m signing of
the Uruguay star on Tuesday after weeks
of speculation over the forward's future,
during which time Rooney was also linked
with the French champion.
However, Al-Khelaifi has clarified that
Cavani was always the number one choice
for Laurent Blanc's side, and insisted the
26-year-old was not motivated to make the
move by money.
When asked whether Rooney or Cavani
had been the top target, Al-Khelaifi told Le
Parisien, "Of course Cavani was our first
choice, the coach's, Leonardo's and mine.
He really wanted to come to Paris, although
other big clubs wanted him. If he had not
believed in the project, he would not have
come.
"Cavani did not chose Paris for the money,
believe me 100 percent. He believes in the
project, he believes that, with us, he will be
able to win many titles."
