This situation was further complicated by comments from Celso Rigo, an influential investor in Grêmio. Rigo expressed skepticism about Cavani’s suitability for the team, openly questioning his dedication and professional ethos in comparison to Suárez. He also raised concerns about Cavani’s age, suggesting it might impact his performance on the field. This blend of interest and hesitation paints a complex picture of Cavani’s potential future in the dynamic world of professional football.
