The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United seems to make Edinson Cavani choose to leave Old Trafford. The reason is that according to a report from Bleacher Report, Tuesday (31/8/2021), Cavani is currently negotiating with Barcelona.
Of course, this is quite sudden considering that the 2021 summer transfer market will soon close. Both Spain and England will close the transfer window on Tuesday 31 August 2021 at 23.00 BST or Wednesday 1 September 2021.
In less than 24 hours Barcelona and Man United will not be able to negotiate. However, in fact Cavani is still trying to move to the team nicknamed the Blaugrana.
So far the report that can be conveyed is that Cavani’s negotiations between Man United and Barcelona are already in further talks. Both teams seem to have agreed to make the transfer of the Uruguayan striker.
The problem now is whether Man United and Barcelona have enough time to finish Cavani? Of course it is interesting to wait for the continuation of the negotiations for Cavani who actually still has a contract until the end of June 2022 at Man United.
Despite all that, Cavani’s departure is actually good news for Ronaldo. In addition to his competitors on the front lines of Man United will be reduced, the number seven jersey worn by Cavani can also be seized by CR7 safely.
Another interesting thing is Barcelona’s decision to negotiate with Man United regarding the purchase of Cavani. The reason is that currently the Blaugrana actually have three main strikers who are quite promising.
The three Barcelona strikers in question are Martin Braihtwaite, Sergio Aguero, and Memphis Depay. So, actually signing Cavani is not an urgent option.
Especially considering the age of Cavani who is now 34 years old. Of course, with all that, it’s a bit difficult to accept Barcelona’s decision to try to sign Cavani in the summer of 2021.
However, in football anything can happen. So, Barcelona might actually succeed in signing Cavani in the summer of 2021.
