Barcelona may sign Man Utd’s Cavani before the transfer deadline

Martin Braithwaite has filled the role for the Blaugrana this season as Memphis Depay often comes central.

However, the Catalans are looking for more, especially since

Sergio Aguero

is out of action, and based on reports from

Mundo Deportivo

, they may pen a deal with

’s

Edinson Cavani

.

The Uruguayan may be United’s number two, notwithstanding meeting the back of the net 17 times and leading the line in the 2020-21 season, courtesy of

Cristiano Ronaldo

’s arrival from Juventus.

Due to that, Cavani might be offered to the La Liga giants but the reports claim that while

are thinking about it, they believe the deal to be ‘very complicated’,

Barcelona are struggling financially and they cannot spend significantly and although United may not ask big money for the 34-year-old whose contract is due to expire in a year, they may not want to lose their second striker with the transfer window closing in a few hours.

The Portugal international is fully fit but he is 36 years and it is wise for the Premier League side to have another striker on hand.

Meanwhile, Cavani confirmed that he plans to hang up his boots after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar so if they sign a contract, it would be a short-term one, which is unlikely to happen.
