Edinson Cavani has reportedly changed his mind over moving to Argentinian giants Boca Juniors next week.
The Uruguayan international is available as a free agent following his release by Manchester United at the end of the 2021/22 season.
Cavani joined United in 2020, after ending a fine spell at Paris Saint-Germain as the club’s highest ever goal scorer, with 200 club goals in the French capital.
As part of growth of links to a move to Spain, Villarreal are tracking the veteran striker, having previously played in Italy, France and England.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano stated a deal had been agreed to bring Cavani to Buenos Aires after failing to agree a contract with a La Liga club.
However, the situation now appears to moved swiftly, with Cavani getting his wish of completing a move to the Spanish top-flight.
There is no update on which club have made the 11th hour offer but Cavani has informed Boca of his decision as he looks to move his family to Spain.
