Juventus to rival Barcelona for Manchester United star?

Juventus could rival Barcelona in the pursuit of Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani in January.

The 34-year-old has made just eight appearances for the Red Devils this term. He has been sidelined for the past month with a tendon injury.

Despite this, there is speculation over his future, and it has been claimed that he would like to leave the club during the January transfer window.

Barcelona are keen on landing his services, but Tuttosport claims that the Bianconeri are also interested in signing the Uruguay international.

The Bianconeri have the preference to land Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic, but are aware that the Serbian is attracting plenty of transfer interest.

With their current financial situation, they can't afford to pay a big fee up front, and are searching for a low-cost option at the turn of the year.

Cavani's deal at United expires at the end of the campaign, and he could be available for a nominal fee when the transfer window reopens.a
