Manchester United hitman, who turns 35 next month, will be out if contract in the summer – and River Plate view him as a replacement for their Man City-bound striker Julian Alvarez.A two-year deal is on the table for Cavani ahead of him becoming a free transfer at the end of the season.The Uruguayan international had been hoping to get away in the current window – with both Juventus and Barcelona keen to take him on loan for the rest of the campaign.But that interest was immediately blocked by the United hierarchy on the orders of interim boss Ralf Rangnick.The German coach does not consider the ex-PSG and Napoli forward surplus to requirements at Old Trafford.Quite the opposite. He sees him as essential impact player off the bench as a well as a decent alternative up front when wanting to rest Cristiano Ronaldo.Ironically, City’s imminent capture of River Plate hotshot Alvarez, 21, has opened the door for Cavani to finish his prolific career in South America.The Premier League champions expect to secure the deal before the transfer window shuts on Monday night.They then plan to loan the Argentina international back to the champions River Plate until later in the year.Should Manchester United try and keep Edinson Cavani? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section belowFellow South American side Corinthians had previously tried to lure Cavani to Brazil, though were unsuccessful.Corinthians president Duilio Monteiro Alves said: “I have to look for the best in the world.

Erling Haaland is delaying a decision on his future to buy Barcelona time to raise the £300million required to sign him.Sources close to Haaland’s current club Borussia Dortmund are convinced his preferred destination is the Nou Camp - despite his refusal to confirm that bombshell to the rest of Europe’s elite.Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are all poised to launch bids for Haaland, whose £68m buy-out clause kicks in at the end of the season.But they are being made to wait as he wants to see if Barcelona, crippled by debts of £670m, can somehow afford him.The total cost of acquiring the prolific marksman is an eye-watering £300m - in transfer, salary and agent fees combined.That was way beyond Barcelona’s reach...until one of the world's biggest banks, Goldman Sachs suddenly arrived on the scene with an offer to bail them out to the tune of a ONE BILLIION pound loan.And, according to long-time La Liga expert Terry Gibson, that means the fallen Spanish giants are definitely contenders in the Haaland equation.The former Man United striker said: “They’ll be in there, 100 per cent! Absolutely.“I was amazed they were able to get the money to buy Ferran Torres from Man City this month.“They will find the money. They always find ways of raising the revenue.

Manchester City will reluctantly listen to offers for Raheem Sterling this summer – if they fail to agree a new deal with him by then.The in-form England winger, 27, is into the last 18 months of his current contract and talks over extending his stay remain firmly ‘on ice’, according to City insiders.The club have not abandoned hope on the matter but fear the longer the stalemate persists, the less likely he is to commit.Sterling, despite his recent superb run with the League leaders, remains concerned about commanding a regular starting place under Pep Guardiola.Discussions on a new contract began way back in September in 2020 but have been on pause since this time last year.That breakdown in negotiations coincided with Sterling’s City career hitting something of a rollercoaster.In the final weeks of last season, the former Liverpool man found himself out of favour and on the bench for the big games, including the Champions League final defeat to Chelsea.And even after a brilliant summer at the Euros for Gareth Southgate’s men, he was again dropped by Guardiola following September’s 0-0 home draw against Southampton.That sparked intense speculation Sterling, who cost a then-English record £49million in July 2015, could be on his way out as early as this January window.However, with his relentless ability to bounce back, Sterling has regained his place - and proved pivotal in City’s recent 12-match winning league blitz.What would be a good move for Raheem Sterling?
