Chelsea may have been given a date for conducting discussions over Real Madrid-chased Edinson Cavani’s future, but the Napoli man himself is refusing to give details on where he could be heading.
Cavani is currently hoping to boost Uruguay’s hopes of making the Confederations Cup knockout stages, but speculation remains over whether he will move away from Napoli this summer.
He has previously admitted to having a special liking for Real Madrid, even as Chelsea are due for a meeting with Napoli tomorrow on a possible move to Stamford Bridge.
He yesterday hailed Real Madrid as a dream for every child in the world, but since then has toned down the rhetoric slightly, when speaking at a press conference ahead of Uruguay’s clash against Nigeria tonight.

"Napoli trusts me, and that makes me happy", he said. "The important thing is playing in a place where you can feel the confidence of the coach and the environment.
"These things are there in Naples and I know them. I am happy to be there, where I have solved all kinds of problems."
One stumbling block in Cavani’s sale to any club could be his release clause which stands at €63m, with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis adamantly sticking to the figure.
Cavani’s apparent desire for a move to Los Blancos could well have deterred clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City, but the 26-year-old remains coy at best on the prospect of a transfer.
"Real Madrid? they are one of the best clubs in the world", he added. "But at the moment there is nothing concrete. I do not even know what my future will be."
