Edinson Cavani is set to leave Manchester United this summer since neither he nor the club is interested in extending his contract.
According to the Sun, Edinson Cavani prefers to move to La Liga over other options, with Inter and River Plate also interested in signing the 35-year-old. As a result, Real Sociedad is now leading the race to sign him.
River Plate were the favorites to land him last summer, but their president has clearly stated that it was a mistake of running behind his signature. This pretty much sums up the fact that the South American club is not interested to sign the Uruguayan striker anymore.
Edinson Cavani has previously been linked with both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, but with both clubs focusing on other targets, Real Sociedad could be his preferred destination.
This season, Imanol Alguacil’s team has failed to score goals, with neither Alexander Isak nor Sorloth making the required impact in front of the goal.

The Uruguayan striker scored 17 goals last season, but due to Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival, he has played far less this season than he would like. He would like to play alongside David Silva and enjoy a high standard of living with Sevilla.
The former PSG’s record goalscorer has seen his playing time drastically reduced as a result of being forced to play as an optional striker, and he has started in only six League matches this season.
He has played in 56 matches in all competitions since arriving in Manchester nearly two years ago, directly contributing to 19 goals, and will undoubtedly be regarded as a cult favorite among United fans.
