Edinson Cavani is reportedly closing in on a deal to sign for Boca Juniors when his Manchester United contract expires this summer.

Manchester United forward Edinson Cavani is reportedly close to agreeing a deal to sign for Boca Juniors at the end of the season.

The 35-year-old is out of contract at Old Trafford at the end of the season and is set to leave as a free agent after enduring a troubling campaign with injuries.

A return to South America has been strongly mooted for Cavani, who plied his trade at Danubio FC before earning his move to Europe with Palermo in 2007.

According to The Mirror, Cavani is now in 'advanced talks' over a summer switch to Boca Juniors and is one of several players whom Erik ten Hag is prepared to part ways with.

The report adds that Cavani was left "furious" after the Red Devils brought Cristiano Ronaldo back into the side for the 2021-22 season, with the former Paris Saint-Germain attacker assured that he would be the club's number one striker this term.

Cavani has only made 17 appearances this season due to various injury problems and has only registered two goals and one assist in Premier League action.
