The world of football is always buzzing with transfer rumors, and one of the most intriguing developments in recent times has been the approach of Lyon to an agreement with a 25 million euro Brazilian international striker.
The player in question is none other than Edinson Cavani, who has become a legend at the club where he started his career. The 34-year-old forward has scored over 100 goals for the French side, making him one of their all-time top scorers.
However, there have been reports suggesting that Lyon may be looking to cash in on their prized asset by selling him this summer. And according to reports from France's L'Equipe newspaper, Lyon are reportedly in advanced talks with Manchester United regarding a potential deal for Cavani.
If negotiations between the two clubs go well, it could see the Uruguayan international move to Old Trafford for a fee believed to be in the region of £60 million (approximately €70 million). This would make him the second-highest paid player in English football after Harry Kane.
For Lyon, however, it seems they want to offload Cavani as soon as possible in order to free up funds for other signings. They have already made several high-profile transfers this season, including the signing of Raphinha from Leeds United for a reported fee of £42 million.
Overall, it will be interesting to see how this transfer saga unfolds, but for now, Cavani remains a major attraction for both Manchester United and other Premier League clubs.
