Los Angeles Galaxy are not wasting time trying to find a replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who announced his departure from the club on Wednesday. According to reports, Galaxy immediately turned their focus to Paris Saint-Germain’s striker Edinson Cavani.

NBC Sports’ Joe Prince-Wright cited a report from Sky Sports Italia, which claims that Galaxy representatives are currently in Paris where they are trying to get Cavani’s signature. Still, they have a tough task ahead of them, as MLS newcomer Inter Miami are also interested in the 32-year-old Uruguayan.

Edinson Cavani struggled with injuries and lack of productivity in France this year, playing just six matches and scoring twice. On the other hand, PSG’s new acquisition Mauro Icardi has been stellar, scoring nine times in nine matches. This is why it’s believed that the team wouldn’t stand in Cavani’s way if he was to leave for MLS.

Galaxy would have to pay a transfer fee to PSG, however, as Cavani is under contract until June of 2020.

Cavani joined PSG in 2013 from Seria A side Napoli, and has since played 288 games with the club while scoring 195 goals. He won five national league titles during his time in France.

It was easy work for the Uruguay men’s national soccer team as they took care of Ecuador with a convincing 4-0 win in the first game in Group C action at the 2019 Copa America in Brazil.

Uruguay started early and didn’t let up, scoring in just the 5th minute of the game to take a 1-0 lead with a Nicolás Lodeiro goal.

The two most well-known players on La Celeste‘s roster also got into the action before halftime, with both Edinson Cavani and Luis Suárez scoring goals.

Cavani’s goal was a brilliant bicycle kick that will surely go down as the goal of the tournament. It gave Uruguay a 2-0 lead.

Suárez then got in on the action just before halftime, beating Ecuador goalie Alexander Domínguez to put his country up 3-0.

Ecuador then scored another own goal in the second half to put the game far away at 4-0, the final result which Uruguay took three points with.

This result puts them at the top of Group C with 3 points and was a strong and convincing start for one of the favorites to win this year’s tournament. Uruguay will look to seal its berth in the knockout stage when it faces Japan later this week.
