According to reports in Argentina, former Napoli striker Edinson Cavani is unwilling to join Juventus as he prepares to move to Barcelona, where he would replace Sergio Aguero.
Cavani sees his Manchester United contract expire at the end of the season and with Juventus on the lookout for a new striker in January, the Uruguay international has been linked with a move to Turin.
However, according to TyC Sports in Argentina, Cavani is determined to join Barcelona in the January transfer window.
The 34-year-old wants to leave Old Trafford six months before the expiration of his contract and is ready to pack his suitcase during the winter transfer window.
Boca Juniors held talks with the former Napoli star, but Barcelona is his No.1 option.
The Catalans need a new centre forward after Sergio Aguero’s retirement from football due to a heart condition.
Cavani’s teammate Anthony Martial is reportedly open to joining Juventus on loan in January, but the Bianconeri also monitor Mauro Icardi, Gianluca Scamacca and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
💣#Boca ¡Se acabó la ilusión! #Cavani confirmó su nuevo destino
El Xeneize se comunicó con el punta del Manchester United para tantear su llegada, pero descartó el ofrecimiento y anticiparía su salida de Inglaterra para llegar a España…https://t.co/FKlfKjSUUw

Yeesh, Cavani, Alexis Sanchez. Barca starting to look like a serie a side lol.
Barca send Depay to Juventus !!
Good! The last thing Juve needs is another old man !
Rather bring back Mandzukic than Cavani.
Bring in Cavani and Lorenzo Luca, sell Morata, then use Kean and Lorenzo Luca as subs.
Don’t keep Morata on the bence
