Boca Juniors are confident of signing Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani this summer, according to a report.

Boca Juniors are reportedly confident of signing Edinson Cavani on a free transfer this summer.

The forward's current deal with Manchester United is due to expire at the end of June, but the Red Devils do have the option of activating an additional 12 months on the agreement.

Cavani has impressed during his time with the English giants, scoring seven times in 25 appearances in all competitions, but Man United are said to be concerned by the Uruguayan's recent injury problems.

The 34-year-old has recently been absent with a muscular problem and pulled out of the squad to face AC Milan in the Europa League on Thursday evening, having suffered a setback in training.

Cavani's father recently claimed that his son was 'unhappy' in England, and according to Infobae, Boca are laying the groundwork to sign the experienced striker this summer.

The report also claims that the Argentine club's vice-president Joan Roman Riquelme is already in direct contact with the South American over a switch.

The former Paris Saint-Germain forward has managed six Premier League goals this season but has only featured in one of his team's last five games in England's top flight.
