Edinson Cavani says that he wants to win the Copa Libertadores with a Uruguayan team once his career with Paris Saint-Germain has finished.

Edinson Cavani has revealed that he wants to win the Copa Libertadores with a Uruguayan team once his career with Paris Saint-Germain has finished.

Cavani became PSG's all-time leading scorer when he netted against Montpellier last weekend, the 30-year-old having now managed 157 goals in 229 appearances for the French giants.

The Uruguay international has a contract with PSG until the end of the 2019-2020 campaign, but the centre-forward has confirmed that he wants to return to South America before hanging up his boots.

"I want to go back to Uruguay and win the Libertadores," Cavani told Radio Sport890. "I can't tell you the name of the club yet, but I'm a man of projects.

"So, if an important project comes along, then I really want the Libertadores and I like challenges. I want a Uruguayan club to win it again."

Cavani began his professional career with Uruguayan team Danubio before moving to Italian side Palermo.
