Edinson Cavani 'wants La Liga move this summer'

Edinson Cavani is reportedly determined to secure a move to a La Liga club this summer.

The 34-year-old's contract with Manchester United is due to expire at the end of June, and he is widely expected to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer in search of pastures new.

The Uruguay international has been strongly linked with a return to South America, with a number of clubs said to be keen to secure his signature on a free transfer.

However, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Cavani's 'priority' is to move to Spain, as he wants to 'experience' La Liga football before the end of his career.

Romano has also said that River Plate are 'not even an option' for the South American despite claims that they were one of the favourites for his signature.

Barcelona were linked with his services during the January window, although the Catalan outfit are not expected to move for him this summer, having signed both Adama Traore and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Cavani has scored twice and registered one assist in 15 appearances for the 20-time English champions this season, but he was not involved against Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday due to a groin issue.
