A report in the Daily Mail suggests that English Premier League Champions Manchester City are preparing to make a bid for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain.
City have of course been linked with a move for Arsenal forward Robin Van Persie but may miss out on the Dutchman, which is why they are turning their attention to the Argentinean.
It is being suggested that Roberto Mancini could offer the La Liga side as much as £35 million to secure Higuain’s services.
Should he join the Ethiad Stadium, then he would line up with fellow countrymen Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez so is likely to find it easy to settle into life in England.
The 24-year-old seems unsettled at the Bernabeu and started just 18 games in the Spanish top flight last season. He did still manage 22 goals though so is certainly clinical in front of goal.
Although it seems as though Mancini’s big target is still Van Persie, he is set to be an admirer of Higuain and will make a move if he cannot lure the Holland international to Manchester.
At 24, he certainly still has his best years as a player ahead of him and could be a fantastic signing for the Citizens.
City should never make such a horrible mistake as higuain to me is a biggest flop and he ruined the success of RM even when he had supplies from Robben, sneijder kindda players and couldnt prove his abilities as Mancini should never give up such an amount on such a horrible skill, sorry i am speaking frankly, but its a truth and that we all have to accept. As per City they should go on to convince players like Cavani, hulk, Forlan, RVP, kinda players to retain title this season as not only united but Chelsea will prove a big headache for these favourites i guess…
City should also try to sign Julio Cesar from Inter as he is scrolling other clubs and league for his future and to me he is the best goalkeeper in world competitions and these kindda benefits often dont come in routines, so i think Mancini should seriously think on this…
this is not going to happern. higuain will not leave real for city. PSG would be better suited for him, and if so be the case, who will real replace him with. Not likely to happern this article has no substance
He would be better of at Chelsea as their type of football would suit him.
Higuain is a better finisher than benzema. Those of u who think he lacks talent know nothing about soccer. Higuain outscored benzema in laliga and he is one of the most underrated players ever
