Nice are interested in former Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani.

The Uruguay international came off contract at United this week.

Cavani has been linked with clubs in Spain and Italy, but a return to France could be on for the former PSG star.

Nice-Matin says OCGN are ready to make an approach to Cavani.

The Ligue 1 outfit are hopeful of persuading the 34 year-old, though will face competition from the likes of Rayo Vallecano and Salernitana.
