Manchester United superstar in the running again for Barcelona

After the departure of Lionel Messi, FC Barcelona began to carry out a process of complete restructuring of its squad. The pressing economic situation suffered by the Catalan team caused the board of directors led by Joan Laporta to get rid of footballers with high contracts.

In this way, Barcelona lost hierarchy in its squad, especially on offense, where the presence of Memphis Depay and Agüero (injured) stands out, but not much else. That is why, despite the financial crisis, from the culé they will seek to give power to the attack from next season.

In this sense, English media reported that Uruguayan Edinson Cavani would be on the transfer list for the January market, corresponding to the mid-season of the European tournament. According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, the attacker, also alleged by Boca Juniors, would welcome the possible interest of Blaugrana, especially after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The arrival of the world megastar caused the Salto native to lose the prominence he had gained in the previous campaign within the team led by Solkjaer. And the truth is that his age still forces him to take his last steps in European football, before starting his return to South American football.
