Edinson Cavani wants to leave Manchester United after just a season at Old Trafford and return to South America this summer, according to reports in Argentina.
Ole claim that the veteran striker has his heart set on a move to Boca Juniors, despite having the option to extend his contract with United by an extra year.
Cavani signed a deal until the end of the season when he joined United on a free transfer last October, having left PSG at the end of his contract.
But after just five months in England, it is now being claimed that Cavani wants to fulfil a boyhood dream by seeing out his career at Boca.
The Argentine giants have shown interest in signing him in the past, with Ole previously reporting that Cavani had told club president, Juan Roman Riquelme, that he would join in the future.
The 34-year-old is said to have asked the club who his team-mates would be next season, as well as asking for assurances that they could make signings to challenge for the Copa Libertadores title.
It is claimed that Cavani’s representatives do not believe his possible contract extension at United will be an issue because it is not automatically triggered.
The former Napoli star has been a useful addition to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad this season, scoring seven goals in 25 appearances. He has started only 11 games for the Red Devils in all competitions.
Ole claim that Cavani is willing to take a huge cut on his £210,000-a-week wages to ensure the move goes through smoothly.
According to the Argentine newspaper, the veteran will demand a three-year contract worth the equivalent of what he would earn at United in a single season.
‘Unless there’s a mistake, that’s it,’ an unnamed member of Cavani’s entourage is quoted as saying. ‘He’s decided to return now. And he has decided that it’s Boca.’
