Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani has emerged as a potential January target for Barcelona, according to Marca.
The Uruguayan has seen limited playing time this season with Cristiano Ronaldo preferred ahead of him up front.
He recently started in a front two alongside the Portuguese, but there is still uncertainty over his place in the line up.
Cavani will enter the final six months of his deal in January. It is claimed that the Blaugrana will push to sign him for a nominal fee.
It is unclear whether United will enter the prospect of losing the marksman midway through the campaign without a replacement.
They have adequate options in the ranks with Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood capable of leading the line.
However, none of them offer the same physical presence as Cavani up front. The Red Devils could risk losing him for free next summer.
Cavani signed a new one-year deal earlier this year after netting 17 goals last term. However, he would not have expected Ronaldo's shock return.
Ronaldo has been an undisputed striker choice for the Red Devils this season. Cavani has often found himself on the substitutes' bench.
