For a while now, Barcelona have been trying to find themselves a striker to make up for the fact that Sergio Agüero had to retire earlier than planned.
The Argentine had to call it a day just a few months after joining the La Liga side following some newly discovered heart issues, leaving the club with the need to replace him.
Manchester United’s Edinson Cavani, who is out of contract at Old Trafford at the end of the season, quickly became a target, but it appears an exit won’t be so easy.
That’s because Ralf Rangnick wants him to stay, and the Red Devils ‘count on him’, because they ‘think he can be a decisive player for the rest of the season’, according to Marca.
Cavani, down his end, ‘would be happy to end up at Barcelona’, but that isn’t up to him at this point, regardless of the fact he only has six months left on his contract.
He has to see it until the very end if Manchester United want him to stay, leaving the Catalans with no choice but to wait until July if they want to sign him.
