When the transfer window reopens in January, La Liga giants Real Madrid Football Club may reportedly regain interest in Uruguayan star Edinson Cavani. In September 2020, Cavani joined Premier League giants Manchester United Football Club as a free agent, signing a two-year contract. Before joining Manchester United, the Spanish side had considered offering him a contract, but it could not be concluded. The Uruguay international showed his work ethic and ability on the pitch at Old Trafford after joining Manchester United.
Edinson Cavani, who was linked to a move to the Argentine club before the recent summer transfer window closed, is said to be keen for a career close to home, and in the end, he opted to fulfill his contract and remain at Old Trafford until the end of his contract, with which Edinson Edolten expires next summer. The seasoned centre-forward has not started in the game this season since portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, with just 46 minutes in his two substitute appearances in the Premier League combined.
The unexpected arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo pushed Edinson Cavani's starting opportunities to the lowest position, with limited playing opportunities, making Cavani consider leaving Old Trafford, while Spain also considered offering him a contract, according to the Spanish media "El Nacional", Spanish giants Real Madrid are weighing the january winter transfer window for the 34-year-old. Real Madrid believed Cavani could be an ideal stopgap measure, and then they made an offer against young striker Killian Mbappe against Errin Haaland when the transfer window opened next summer.
Carlo Ancelotti is hoping for a replacement for Karim Benzema up front, and the France international is unlikely to play in every game this season, making Cavani a perfect choice. However, it was unclear whether United would be willing to let the Uruguayan leave halfway through. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has built a squad capable of competing on three fronts and when Cristiano Ronaldo rests, Cavani may get playing time. Since joining Old Trafford, Edinson Cavani has made 42 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 17 goals and providing six assists.
