Despite the Ozil transfer, we're still at a negative net spend over the last 10 years.
Stadium debt mostly paid off, mountains of cash in hand, great cash flow from sponsorship and commercial deals.
If we really want to get Cavani we could do it easily, from a financial perspective anyway.
He probably earns twice as much as any of our players at PSG, he'd have to take a pay cut to sign for us, probably a significant one. Why would he be willing to do that after a (relatively) successful season playing every game?

I like to believe that at that level of revenue playing in your preferred position, and being the main man, is more important than an extra 30k per week (Yes, it's 1.56m less per year, but if you're going to be earning about 8m does it really matter?).
Other financial incentives could be added too, if we want to put him an a wage similar to Ozil's. Higher proportion of image rights, higher performance bonuses, etc.
The main obstacle wouldn't be financial imo, the difficulty would reside in convincing him that we genuinely want to challenge for trophies and that we realistically can do so in the near future.
I'm fairly confident about this summer anyway, Wenger must have made assurances in order to convince Ozil to join us.
