Former Manchester United star Edinson Cavani ‘in talks with Serie A club Monza’ as the Uruguay star could make a surprise transfer having previously ‘seeked a move to Spain’
- Edinson Cavani left Manchester United this summer after a poor season
- The 35-year-old striker had previously been linked with a move to La Liga
- He is now in talks over a move to Serie A, where he already has 100 career goals
Edinson Cavani could complete a shock ‘return to Italian football’ after previously eyeing a ‘move to Spain.’
The Uruguayan forward left Manchester United this summer after struggling to nail down a place last season. He scored just two goals in 15 games for the Red Devils last season.
He still knows how to find the net though and has picked up five goals in seven games for his national side this year.

According to reports in Sky Sports Italia, Monza director Adriano Galliani is ‘interested in signing Cavani given his vast experience’, and has entered talks with the player’s representatives.
Having just been promoted from Serie B, the Italian club are lacking in top-level experience and would benefit enormously from a man with over 100 Serie A goals for Napoli and Palermo.
There is also interest in Cavani from fellow Italian minnows Salernitana, who finished 17th in the league last season.

Speaking to Corriere, the club’s president said he would love ‘love to sign Cavani’ and that he would be a ‘wonderful gift to the city.’
This interest from Italy has come in spite of previous reports in Mundo Deportivo that the striker was looking to move to Spain.
At 35, Cavani may be headed for a last hurrah in the league where he made his name, and a goal scorer of his quality could prove decisive in a Serie A relegation scrap.
