Juventus are looking to sign either Edinson Cavani from PSG or Manchester United’s Juan Mata if Carlos Tevez leaves.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Bianconeri are working out a contingency plan if Tevez decides to terminate his contract by mutual consent a year early to join his beloved Boca Juniors.

The striker has already said he’ll go back to his old club when the contract expires in June 2016 anyway, so forward planning is required.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Bianconeri are working out a contingency plan if Tevez decides to terminate his contract by mutual consent a year early to join his beloved Boca Juniors.

The striker has already said he’ll go back to his old club when the contract expires in June 2016 anyway, so forward planning is required.

Cavani is the first pick, as he is eager to leave Paris Saint-Germain following a series of rows with Coach Laurent Blanc.

Atletico Madrid and Manchester United are also among those interested, but Juve hope to rely on his previous experience in Serie A with Palermo and Napoli.

Another option would be to reinforce in a deeper role, in which case Mata leaps to the top of the wish list.

The Spaniard will turn 27 later this month and has been at Manchester United since January 2014, when he completed a transfer for £37m.

Tottenham are also thought to be interested in Mata for £18m, though it’s unlikely the Red Devils would release him for such a big mark-down.
