Edinson Cavani is set to complete an intriguing move to Argentinian giants Boca Juniors next week.
The veteran Uruguayan international has been available as a free agent this summer following his release by Manchester United at the end of 2021/22.
Cavani joined United in 2020, after bringing to an end a dominant spell at Paris Saint-Germain from 2013 to 2020 as the club’s highest ever goal scorer, with 200 club goals in the French capital.
Despite rumoured rumours of Villarreal considering a move, and possible interest from the player in moving to Spain, having previously played in Italy, France and England.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed a deal is done between both parties with the 35-year-old agreeing a deal until December 2023.
