Manchester City assistant Angelo Gregucci has previously revealed the Premier League champions’ interest in Cavani, but this marks Wenger’s first public acknowledgement of the forward.
“Cavani is a player that I like. What is for sure is that he costs a lot of money,” Wenger told reporters.
Wenger also claimed last Friday that Theo Walcott’s ongoing contract dispute was heading towards a “happy conclusion”, with Goal.com revealing a new four-and-half-year £90,000-a-week deal has been agreed.
And the Arsenal manager stepped up his certainty of a contract extension being signed by the England international on Thursday by adding: “”My optimism [regarding Walcott's new deal] is at 99 per cent now.”
Reports have suggested that the England international was after a clause in his contract guaranteeing him more chances to play as the central striker, after being used mainly as a winger during his time with Arsenal, but Wenger has denied those claims.
Meanwhile, the Brazilian and his representatives met with the Rossoneri on Thursday as they look to thrash out a deal to bring the 30-year-old back to San Siro
Following Wednesday night’s news that the Brazilian is unhappy at the Santiago Bernabeu, the two sides’ presidents, Milan’s Silvio Berlusconi and Madrid’s Florentino Perez, have begun talks over a possible loan deal for the 30-year-old.
The attacking midfielder has failed to cement his place in the first team under Jose Mourinho and Kaka’s representatives are now known to have been in Milan’s head office on Thursday to discuss the player’s options.
Kaka, who has previously played for Milan between 2003-2009, has made only seven league appearances for Madrid this season.
