Silva, 35, and his experience of playing at the top would offer many clubs the missing piece to their currently unsolved defensive puzzle. The Brazillian could even turn out to be the bargain of the summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cavani, too, at 33, still has plenty left in the tank and plenty of goals left in those golden boots of his. Just a season ago, with consistent playing time, Cavani netted a total of 23 goals, with 18 of those coming in a total of 21 Ligue 1 appearances. His ruthlessness in front of goal could take any team up to the next level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Both players will need to keep themselves available for contact in the summer because of the amount of interest they are likely to receive due to both the fee and world-class nature of the players.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"tPfuEuXXQ7t0fcnhxGbK2w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/952855012\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'tPfuEuXXQ7t0fcnhxGbK2w',sig:'eEM8cf6QFpuhxrctSXrGO8SUygQtbN8sW2CoIuLAw0M=',w:'594px',h:'378px',items:'952855012',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris Saint-Germain have been dominating Ligue 1 for years now with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe helping to continue this success in the past few seasons.
