Edinson Cavani Identified As Possible Temporary Replacement for Sébastien Haller at Borussia Dortmund

• Borussia Dortmund will be without Sébastien Haller for a prolonged period of time as he receives treatment
• Edinson Cavani has been a free agent since Manchester United opted not to renew his contract at Old Trafford
• Borussia Dortmund will look to sign a player as a temporary solution until Sébastien Haller is fit again

Borussia Dortmund will enter the transfer market for a new striker in the coming days.

The German side are looking to find a temporary replacement for Sebastien Haller, who was ruled out for most of the season as he undergoes treatment for testicular cancer.

Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke confirmed that the club would sign a striker in the next eight to ten days, Goal reported.

"To put everything on Youssoufa Moukoko's shoulders, a 17-year-old, that might be a bit much," he said.

He added that they were looking at bringing a new striker soon but that it would be difficult as there weren’t many options available in the current market. Dortmund are not looking to bring in a long-term solution for Haller, as they believe the Ivorian will be back for the second half of the season.

Bulinews now reports that Edinson Cavani may be approached to sign a short-term deal in Germany. This year, Cavani became a free agent when Manchester United decided against extending his contract.
