Barcelona are interested in Edinson Cavani for the January transfer window

They were linked with Cavani before the deadline but decided against it. If they were interested this time around, a deal looks complicated. Cavani is on high wages with the Red Devils and Barcelona cannot pay what he’s currently earning.

Cavani is making €15 million and any sort of agreement between the two sides. We would see Manchester United paying part of those wages.

Barcelona has plenty of forwards but are rather thin when it comes to strikers. De Jong has started a couple of games but when he’s not on the pitch. Memphis is the one who has played through the middle.

The last thing Barcelona need is another aging player on the squad, eating up a large chunk of their wage bill. Ansu Fati made his return over the weekend and could be an alternative to De Jong. Sergio Aguero is also making his way back from injury and it would be no surprise if he becomes the starter upon his return.
