River Plate reportedly identify Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani as a potential replacement for Manchester City-bound Julian Alvarez.

River Plate have reportedly identified Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani as a potential replacement for Manchester City-bound Julian Alvarez.

Alvarez, 21, is closing in on a deadline day move to the Citizens for a fee in the region of £17m, but the forward is set to stay in his native Argentina until the summer.

However, the Daily Mirror reports that River Plate will look to target Cavani when his contract at Old Trafford expires in June.

The report adds that the 34-year-old – who is earning in excess of £250,000 per week at United – would need to take a significant wage cut in order to join the Argentina Primeira Division champions.

River Plate may face competition from fellow South American sides Boca Juniors and Corinthians to land the Uruguayan's signature.

Cavani, who is believed to be keen to end his career in South America, has scored over 350 career goals for four different clubs, including 19 strikes in 53 appearances for Man United.
