The striker’s contract is up at the end of the season and he could leave for Boca Juniors, although it is possible to expand at Old Trafford
Edinson Cavani’s father has said his unhappy son is playing in England and wants to leave in the summer.
The Uruguayan signed for Manchester United in the summer on a free transfer, signing a year-long contract with the option on both sides to extend for another 12 months.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has talked about the positive impact the 34-year-old has had at the club but his father, Luis, says Cavani wants to play in South America to be closer to his family. , has contacted Boca Juniors about a move, and is also angry after being banned for using a racist word in a social media post.
What was said?
Speaking of Argentine football program Superfutbol on the TyC Sports network, the striker’s father said: “My son is unhappy in England and wants to return closer to his family. He wants to play in South America.
“I want Edinson to play for a team that is fighting for important awards. He has spoken to many [Boca vice-president Juan Roman] Riquelme and would love to play for Boca.
“At half-time of the year, he would like to return to South America. It’s not my son’s idea to continue there [in Manchester]. He wants to return.
“I think he will return in June this year. He has a clause in his contract that will allow him to leave in June.
“There are things that sometimes bother us as human beings, like humans, the whole ‘n * grito’ ban issue has bothered him. That’s been playing on him, sometimes players can’t find shape anymore, These things can be very stressful. At times you can slow down. “
What has Solskjaer said?
Cavani’s contract is up at the end of the season and Solskjaer confirmed a week or two ago that he was going to sit down with the front to consider a possible expansion.
“I can only say that Edinson has done well,” said the United manager. “I’m impressed with him, he ‘s very caught up in the group and we’ll sit down and talk to him. soon to see his plans and plans.
“It’s a good debate. We are always talking to the players and with his current contract position we are very pleased with what he has done.”
Aim Vision
Cavani has had a positive impact since joining in the summer after many questioned why United had made a move for the 34-year-old.
He has scored seven goals and has two assists over 25 appearances in all competitions and his impact on the pitch has been as great as his contributions. His extensive experience and winning mindset as well as his clinical finish have made a number of players talk about how he developed them.
Amas understands that Boca Juniors are interested in the striker, and his father supports him going there, but he was considering staying in a more elite league ahead of next year’s World Cup .
From a United standpoint they are still keen on signing a forward. If they can get a prime target, like Erling Haaland for example, they might not need Cavani as well.
However, Solskjaer has been heavily influenced by the Uruguayans and is open to his stay. It would be a shame if they let him go without being able to replace him, because while Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial have shown they can go up, the team is screaming. out for natural No. 9.
