12 Players Who Rejected The Premier League This Summer

11. Edinson Cavani (Signed For Paris Saint-Germain)

Chelsea were strongly linked to the Uruguayan striker who had a fantastic goalscoring record in Serie A. Edinson Cavani ultimately opted to join French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain in a reported ‚64 million deal. Even the Blues with their wealthy owner Roman Abramovich failed to compete with the French side. Again, one has to question whether it€™s solely the money incentive to join PSG, as they seemingly have great ambitions as well as a top city to live in. Napoli later denied Chelsea bidding for their striker.
