Despite Barcelona being close to completing the signing of Ferran Torres from Manchester City, that hasn’t stopped claims surrounding Manchester United’s Edinson Cavani.
Barcelona would therefore appear to be looking for more than one attacking signing in the January window, and Sport sound confident about their chances with the Uruguayan.
The Catalan newspaper say the potential transfer is ‘well on track’ and that a final decision on the Manchester United exit will be made ‘in the next few hours’.
Cavani is said to be ready to give his approval to the transfer, and he’d sign for a year and a half, agreeing to slash his salary in the process.
Everything now depends on what will be decided in the coming hours and days. Should Cavani show his use to Manchester United on Monday evening against Newcastle United, then it’s unlikely they’d agree to let him leave for free.
