Edinson Cavani next destination revealed as trusted source confirms Man Utd summer exit
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the desire of Edinson Cavani to leave Manchester United this summer, with the transfer guru also revealing his most likely next destination.
Cavani joined the Red Devils on a free transfer in October 2020, after running down his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. The veteran striker went on to net 17 goals in 39 matches during his debut season at Old Trafford.
Six of those strikes came in the Europa League, helping United to reach the final of the competition. However, they lost to Villarreal in a dramatic penalty shoot-out.
Cavani missed several matches due to injury that season, and that trend has continued in 2021-22.
His most recent problem was a groin strain, which kept him out for five Premier League matches.
To make matters worse for the Uruguay international, he now faces competition from Cristiano Ronaldo for a starting berth.
And the former Real Madrid ace recently hit a hat-trick against Spurs to give United a vital win – showing just how reliant they are on him.
With these factors in mind, Cavani is highly likely to move on this summer. And Romano provides an update on the state of play.
He claims Cavani’s plan to leave Manchester will soon be confirmed by the star himself and the club.
The 35-year-old will be available on a free transfer as his contract expires on June 30.
