FC Barcelona would discuss regularly with the entourage of Edinson Cavani, linked to Manchester United until the end of the season. But other teams would have checked the name of the former PSG striker.

The economic difficulties of FC Barcelona should not prevent him from being active during the next winter transfer window. It must be said that the Catalan club are counting on the next transfer session to bring fresh blood and revive after a disappointing first part of the season. Coach of FC Barcelona, ​​Xavi hopes in particular to strengthen the offensive sector, which could lose Sergio Agüero , victim of heart problems. Several names have been mentioned in recent days by the Spanish press. Ferran Torres (Manchester City), Anthony Martial (Manchester United) and Hakim Ziyech (Chelsea) would interest the Catalan club manager. But according to Sport, Xavi would have a preference for Edinson Cavani , linked with the Red Devils until the end of the season. Asked about this lead on December 3, Xavi made no secret of his annoyance: “You haven't heard me before, have you? (in reference to a previous question on the transfer window, editor's note). I think he's a good player, but I prefer to talk about the players I have on my team. ”But behind the scenes, the big maneuvers have started.

Barça and the Corinthians in contact with Cavani's brother

According to foreign media, FC Barcelona would discuss regularly with Walter Guglielmone , brother and agent d 'Edinson Cavani. The Catalan club do not rule out an offensive from the next month of January for the Uruguayan international, disappointed with his playing time in the Premier League this season. But according to the Brazilian press, the entourage of Edinson Cavani also reportedly came into contact with the leaders of the Corinthians . According to Globoesporte, the club based in Sao Paulo would like to try its luck again in this case, two years after a first failure, when the player was at PSG . An interest denied by Walter Guglielmone . Edinson Cavani's agent didn’t shut the door on a departure to Brazil, but hinted that it wasn’t a priority: “Back to South America? We have to wait a bit. We will see what the possibilities are. Obviously, if a Brazilian team comes up with a good project, we can always listen to it. I have an obligation to make sure that Cavani reaches all the options. ”

Juve should not be a danger

The 34-year-old would like to continue his career in Europe and FC Barcelona seem to be in an ideal position. Indeed, Juventus, heralded as one of the contenders, has no plans to take action on this matter at this time. Calciomercato.com announced on Sunday that El Matador is in its sights, but is far from a priority for the Old Lady due to her advanced age and high salary (around € 5m). Such a high amount for FC Barcelona , who could very well wait until the end of the season to get their hands on Cavani in order to avoid paying transfer compensation to Manchester United .
