Barcelona finally agree to sign Cavani in January after Aguero’s heart diagnosis

Xavi and Barcelona have selected Manchester United star Edinson Cavani as the top target for the replacement of Sergio Aguero. The Catalans hope to seal the deal when the transfer window reopens in January, according to Diario Sport, a tier-two source.

The La Liga giants have lost Sergio Aguero for at least three months after the former Manchester City striker was diagnosed with a serious heart condition.

Man City forward Raheem Sterling and RB Leipzig striker Karim-David Adeyemi are also on Barca’s list as they look to bolster their attacking option for the second part of the campaign.
