Mundo Deportivo: Edinson Cavani becoming 'serious option' for Barcelona

Edinson Cavani has emerged as a 'serious option' for Barcelona in January, according to Mundo Deportivo, a tier-two source.

The La Liga giants are looking for a low-cost option to bolster their attack now that Sergio Aguero is likely to announce his retirement from football.

The former Manchester City striker has been diagnosed with a serious heart condition, leaving Barca scrambling to find a replacement ahead of the crucial months of the season.

Cavani, meanwhile, has seen his playing time at Manchester United limited following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo. The 34-year-old could be available on a cut-price deal with his contract expiring next summer.
