Botafogo president John Textor is confident signing Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani.

Off contract in June, Cavani is considering a return to South America this summer.

He has also been linked with Barcelona, though Textor insists Botafogo are a better financial position to land the Uruguayan.

“Barcelona is in a financial crisis," he said.

"They are having difficulties and today we have more money than Barcelona."
