Arsenal and Manchester United have reportedly submitted offers for Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani but Atletico Madrid are said to be the favourites to sign the Uruguayan.

Cavani, 32, has struggled for game time this season at PSG as a result of injuries and increased competition for places in attack following the loan signing of Mauro Icardi.

He has started just four league matches and played a bit-part role in the group stage of the Champions League. Cavani has scored five times in 13 outings, mainly from the bench.

With his contract set to expire in the summer, PSG are keen to sell Cavani during the January transfer window rather than allow him to leave for nothing.

And, according to Spanish outlet El Chiringuito, Cavani is considering offers from Arsenal, United and Serie A side Inter Milan.

But they also report that La Liga side Atletico are in pole position to sign Cavani and talks have already been held with PSG’s sporting director Leonardo.

They also say that Cavani’s preference is to play for Diego Simeone in Madrid if he is to leave Paris.

Cavani has been an outstanding player for PSG since his arrival from Napoli in 2013, scoring 198 goals in 290 matches, winning five league titles, four French Cups and five French League Cups.

However, PSG manager Thomas Tuchel has made it clear that he wants to keep hold of Cavani until the end of the season.

He said:

“It has been difficult for Edinson after picking up an injury. That meant he lost rhythm, whilst other players were in good form in his position.

“But whilst he is here he must continue to prepare in the best way possible.

“I trust that he will stay with us, and I do not imagine anything else happening.”
