Inter Milan are interested in bringing in Edinson Cavani from on a free transfer in the summer, although there will be plenty of competition for the veteran forward.

Cavani’s contract at Old Trafford expires at the end of the season and is not going to be signing a new one after a stop-start second campaign with the Red Devils.

The 35-year-old has made just six Premier League starts and managed two league goals this season, a significant downturn from his 10 league strikes last campaign.

were linked with a move for Cavani last summer and are still being talked about as a potential destination for the striker, while he is also considering a return to South America, with Boca Juniors touted as a suitor.

Italian publication report that Inter are now also thinking about an approach to the Uruguayan, seeing him as a possible replacement for Alexis Sanchez.

The Chilean is under contract at Inter until 2023, but a summer exit is reportedly likely to be moved on if possible, given his enormous wages.

Sanchez has made 21 Serie A appearances this season, although just seven of those have been in the starting XI.

He made his only Champions League start against Liverpool in the second leg of their last 16 tie at Anfield, and despite playing well he was sent off in the second half, costing his side dearly.
