Barcelona to sign Edinson Cavani this summer?

Barcelona could reportedly move for experienced striker Edinson Cavani in the coming weeks.

The 33-year-old will officially become a free agent when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of June, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding his future.

Chelsea had been credited with an interest in the Uruguay international, but a recent report said that the Blues were no longer in the race for PSG's all-time leading goalscorer.

According to Sport, Cavani has emerged as a potential option for Barca, with the Spanish champions determined to sign a new forward ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

The report claims that the Catalan giants have lined up the former Danubio youngster as an alternative to Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez as it remains to be seen whether the La Liga club can afford the Argentine, who has a €111m (£100.5m) release clause in his contract at San Siro.

Cavani will leave PSG having scored 200 goals in 301 appearances for the French giants.
