Valencia say they have signed “one of the best strikers in the world” after announcing they have reached an agreement with Edinson Cavani.
The former Manchester United forward, 35, has agreed a deal until June 2024.
Cavani scored 12 Premier League goals in two seasons at United after joining from Paris St-Germain in October 2020.
“Throughout his career, he has lifted 25 trophies and he has celebrated goals everywhere he has played,” said a Valencia statement.
“Edinson Cavani is one of the best strikers in the world as evidenced by his goalscoring records.”
Valencia are 14th in La Liga after one win and one defeat from their first two games.
Meanwhile, former Brazil midfielder Willian is close to sealing a return to the Premier League with Fulham.
The ex-Chelsea and Arsenal player had been playing with Corinthians.
However, the 34-year-old had his contract cancelled with the Brazilian club after claiming he and his family received death threats on social media.
A medical is scheduled with Fulham and, if necessary, the deal could be completed after the transfer window has closed given Willian’s contract status.
Willian won five trophies, including two Premier League titles, during his seven-year spell at Chelsea before joining Arsenal on a three-year deal in 2020.
His deal with the Gunners was terminated after a year because he did not make an impact and he moved to his first club Corinthians in his homeland.
Willian was a regular for Brazil after making his debut in 2011 but last played for his country in 2019.
