The prolific attacker has played second fiddle to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 throughout the course of the season and is speculated to leave Los Blancos as contract negotiations are halted.
Gonzalo Higuain completed his sixth year at the Santiago Bernabeu as the third highest goal scorer in La Liga. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/River-Plate-c40368 attacker boasts off an impressive tally of 26 goals and 10 assists from his 54 competitive performances.
Real Madrid’s title triumph was his third since arriving from native http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841, as he remains as one of the longest serving squad member belying his 24 years of age.
Higuain has improved on his performances with every passing year, making a solid impression on the numerous managers he has served under. He started as a first team starter under Jose Mourinho but lost his position to Karim Benzema after succumbing to injuries
last season.
With the French ace hitting form in Higuain’s absence, the Argentinean has moved down the pecking order at the Santiago Bernabeu and has been linked with a transfer to Paris Saint Germain, while Juventus and Manchester City also lurk on the sidelines.
Real Madrid assistant manager, Aitor Karanka, took out time to reflect on the situation. Karanka pointed towards the standing ovation Higuain received by the Madridista as Los Blancos were crowned La Liga champions and added that the club does not wish to
lose the long term serviceman.
However, when quizzed whether Higuain’s move away from the Spanish capital is certain, Karanka gave a coy answer. He rejected the notion and reckoned that in time everyone will know about what does the future hold for the club and the Argentine ace.
"I want him to stay, and we saw yesterday [Sunday] what the Bernabeu thinks of him," Karanka said.
"He has the support of the club and the coaching staff; he is a great player.”
"But we've talked with him a long time and no longer need to talk anymore; the facts will speak for themselves."
Argentine international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082, media divulgences have added fuel to reports linking Higuain with Paris Saint Germain. The former Palermo man revealed that his compatriot is in talks with the Parisians and a transfer looks on the card.
