Cavani (Man Utd) picked up by Botafogo
In recent days, the English press has been pessimistic about the future of Edinson Cavani at Manchester United.
The 35-year-old Uruguayan striker, often injured this season, is out of contract.
FC Barcelona has been regularly announced on their heels since their departure from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2020. But the Botafogo club believes they can get ahead of the Catalans in this case.
At the microphone of the Brazilian media Lance!, the rich American investor and boss of the club, John Textor, let go: “
Barcelona is in financial crisis.
Me, today, I have more money than Barcelona.

claim that contacts exist between Cavani and Botafogo, Brazilian D2 champion in 2021 and just back in the top flight.

Diego Costa also in Brazil?
While waiting to find out if Edinson Cavani will go to Brazil, there is another striker who is getting closer: Diego Costa.
According to journalist Jorge Nicola on the set of the
Band TV
channel , the Spanish-Brazilian center-forward (33) has an agreement in principle with Corinthians.
All that remains is to agree on the salary.
Diego Costa has been without a club since January after six months already in Brazil, at Atlético Mineiro.
This winter, rumors sent him to AS Saint-Étienne who failed him, or to Italy on the side of Atalanta and Salernitana.
Juve want to keep Morata...
Like Cavani, Alvaro Morata has long been sent to FC Barcelona by the Italian press.
His departure even seemed complete at the beginning of January, but the game of dominoes took another turn and the Spanish striker (29) is still at Juventus.
There, well there.
According to the
Gazzetta dello Sport
, Juve intends to buy him definitively from Atlético de Madrid at the end of the season.
His trainer Massimiliano Allegri would be convinced by his cohabitation with the star center forward, Dusan Vlahovic.
On the other hand, Juve will negotiate a discount on the planned €35m purchase option.
The fact that Morata will be out of contract in June 2023 could prompt Atlético to lower the price.

...and think of Zaniolo (AS Roma)
La
Gazzetta dello Sport
warns: there won't be room for everyone at Juventus.
Will Morata stay?
Will Paulo Dybala be extended, in a team where Vlahovic and Chiesa are already applying for the starting lineup in attack?
If so, it will be difficult for the Bianconeri to attract Nicolo Zaniolo.
The 22-year-old right winger, a supporter of the Old Lady since childhood, would not be the happiest at AS Roma.
His recent 'likes' on Instagram posts of Juve players are said to be subliminal but clear messages of his longing elsewhere.
Juve would have checked their name for this summer but do not ignite, especially since Roma could ask for more than 40 M € for their Italian international, under contract until 2024.
