Chelsea and PSG would be meeting each other for the second leg of the last 16 tie in the Champions league and it seems a huge meeting with respect to a swap deal involving their star strikers would be discussed thereafter.

Chelsea plot stunning striker swap deal for South American goal machine.

The two clubs have been pitted against each other in the competition for the last three seasons and it seems this time, apart from a battle on the field, there would be vital discussion off the field too.

It seems both the clubs would be looking to have an exchange deal involving Diego Costa and Edinson Cavani. Cavani is very much liked by Antonio Conte, who is reported to be announced as the next Chelsea manager in this month.

On the other hand, although Costa has been in superb form following the arrival of Interim manager Guus Hiddink, it seems the Spanish International is not happy with his stay in London. The former Atletico Madrid striker is seen as a replacement for PSG's star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Sweden International will most likely leave the club in the summer and the French giants consider the current Chelsea striker Costa as the perfect replacement. There have been reports that talks would start this week regarding this striker deal.

It seems that PSG striker Edinson Cavani is very much wanted by the Premier league champions and is one of their top priorities in the summer.

Edinson Cavani is serious about a move away from PSG in the summer and finds himself on a Chelsea shortlist.

Chelsea have endured a pretty ordinary season by their standards and the club believes that major reshuffling is necessary for the next season. Their main striker Diego Costa was earlier linked with a return to his former club Atletico Madrid but the Spanish International has hit top form under Interim manager Guus Hiddink.

Uruguayan International Cavani has been linked with other Premier league clubs as well including the likes of Manchester United. However, the Blues have asked PSG about the former Napoli striker's availability, whose contract runs till 2018.

Chelsea would certainly have a good look at the striker when he would play against them in the return leg of the Champions league round of 16 at Stamford Bridge. It was the Uruguayan's well taken goal in the first leg, which is currently the difference between the two sides.

A long time Arsenal and Manchester United target Edinson Cavani has hinted that his future may lie away from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Uruguayan hit-man has struggled for form this season and has scored just eight goals in 28 Ligue 1 outings.

Edinson Cavani

He was subbed-off after just 59 minutes of PSG's big derby with Marseille on Sunday and reports in France suggest that he has fallen out with manager Laurent Blanc.

Both Arsenal and United have been strongly linked with a move for Cavani and are said to be keeping close tabs on his situation in Paris.

Juventus are also another club who are understood to be ready to bid for the 28-year-old. Cavani became the most expensive player in French football history when he signed for PSG from Napoli for £55m in 2013.

Cavani also refused to rule out a move away when asked about his future after Sunday's game.

He told calciomercato.com that for now he thinks only to finish the season well and give his best for the club that pays him. He also stated that he is fine in Paris but in football you never know what can happen in the future.
