The feud appears to have escalated beyond control, with Unai Emery seemingly too timid to step in and Neymar now telling PSG’s directors to offload Cavani as soon as possible.
But the argument has moved elsewhere after ex-Manchester United striker Forlan leapt to the defence of fellow Uruguayan Cavani.
He slammed Neymar for his behaviour and also had a pop at veteran Brazilian Alves, who played a part in stealing the ball away from Cavani.
Forlan said: “He (Cavani) knows how to handle himself and knows how to talk in a situation like this.
“Outside he does not have to be friends with anybody, but then inside the field they are a team and they have to get along.
Neymar vs Edinson Cavani fight escalates as Dani Alves and Diego Forlan are
embroiled in heated war of words
Forlan said: “He (Cavani) knows how to handle himself and knows how to talk in a situation like this.
“Outside he does not have to be friends with anybody, but then inside the field they are a team and they have to get along.
“I get angry if I put myself in the place of Cavani, because Alves, at the moment (Cavani) wants to kick the penalty, was concerned to get the ball (for Neymar), as if they were little boys.”
