http://topnews.in/sports/files/Edinson-Cavani_0.jpgLondon, July 17: Chelsea would need to pay around 60 million pounds to sign Napoli striker Edinson Cavani and Brazilian playmaker Oscar.

It is believed Chelsea is ready to pay 35 million pounds for hit man Cavani, who has scored 66 goals for Napoli in the last two seasons and also tormented the Blues during last year's Champions League knockout stage match.

However, it has been revealed that Napoli is ready to listen to a more realistic offer for Cavani.

Meanwhile, Internacional president Giovanni Luigi last night confirmed he is close to an agreement for Oscar, who is in Brazil's team for the Olympics.

Luigi said: "I want the transfer of Oscar to be the biggest deal ever in Brazilian football and the Chelsea offer isn't far from that. (ANI)
