Speculation over the Manchester City forward's future has been rife ever since his public training ground bust up with manager Roberto Mancini, and a move back to Italy is becoming more and more likely.
AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi's recent comments about the striker have seemingly ruled out a move to the Rossoneri, but reports have suggested Napoli may be a more likely destination.
The Uruguayan forward is a staunch supporter of the 21-year-old and believes a move back to his native country would do the Italian international a world of good.
He also believes the criticism of the young striker has been unfair.
"Sometimes bad things happen and things go wrong, but he is a great player." Cavani said in an interview with Rai Uno.
"(Silvio) Berlusconi's words? I don't accept that Mario is a rotten apple. No-one should judge others when we are talking about champions who give so much joy to the Italian fans."
On the prospect of playing with with the former Inter man, the 25-year-old would be excited about linking up with him at Napoli.
"Me and him together? Balotelli is a champion, he has shown that, and I'd like to play with him."
