The Uruguay international is looking likely to quit the Parc des Princes at the end of this season, having failed to find his best form for the club following a big-money move from Napoli last term.
Still, Cavani is regarded as one of the best strikers in the world on his day and could make an impact in the Premier League, with City now hoping to add him to their strike force for next year.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side have been overly reliant on Sergio Aguero to deliver the goals this season, and it looks as though the manager is losing faith in players like Edin Dzeko, Stevan Jovetic and January signing Wilfried Bony.
Cavani could be a better bet, even if he looks a slightly risky buy at such a high transfer fee.
