Cavani still plays for a relevant team at the highest level.He just isnt happy to be there for the money but also the fact that he'll be competing for major honors.Cavani isnt young but this is supposed to be his prime years,i see no issue in buying someone who's still very relevant in the game and at the highest level nonetheless.
Whereas with Sneijder,you knew he took the decision to play in Turkey purely for (easy)money and his family(wife) and he himself probably knew that his time at the top was up.He doesnt play for a relevant team,he's lost that relevance a long time ago infact.I wont be surprised if he retired sooner than we expect.
I think we're discussing two players with completely different backgrounds here even if there isnt supposed to be lot of age difference between the two.
He plays in god awful France... They have a good team, but let's not talk shit: he's there for the money. Otherwise he'd be banging in the goals as a prima punta instead of playing second fiddle to Ibrahimovic. What Cavani needs is a team like us to restore his very finest form. And we need him, but can't afford him.
Don't convince me on Sneijder. I always hated the little turd. But objectively seen he might be able to cut it at 30 years old for at least 1,5 years. Drogba was also said to be finished when he moved to Asia, he proved everyone (myself included) wrong afterwards.
