The Argentine international can safely be considered one of the most consistent performers in the Spanish La Liga, however, in the presence of other flourishing teammates; will he be able to cement a place in the starting line-up?
Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Higuain is probably among the best forwards in the world. However, despite his high goal-scoring profile, the striker has not been able to feature regularly for Los Blancos lately.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/River-Plate-c40368 player had the best goal scoring average last season and this record was superior to all other forwards across Europe. It was observed that every time the attacker featured for his team, he managed to find the back of the net.
Higuain’s goals came in great concentration as he was able to score twice in several matches with commendable ease. He was regularly able to show that he was once the primary striker for the nine-time European champions in the past.
However, the player has seen himself fall a little lower in the pecking order. The reason for this is likely to be the fact that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350 is seen as a better replacement for him. In addition, considering the strong attacking midfield prowess of the
Spanish giants, it seems unlikely for the team to have two forwards on the pitch on a regular basis.
This is certainly a reason to worry for the 24-year-old as he can easily find a starting position with a number of other teams. Several top European clubs have even expressed their interest in the player and he is completely aware of that.
Teams such as English Premier League outfits http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 were reported to have been keenly following the footballer. In addition, Italian Serie A giants, Juventus, were also believed to have strong interest in the South American athlete.
Even Gonzalo’s agent, who happens to be his own father, expressed that the player is fortunate to have attracted the interest of a number of top teams across the continent. He also suggested that the player is strongly linked with Juve and that a move can
actually conspire in the foreseeable future.
However, the striker went on to downplay the transfer speculation and voiced his loyalty to the Spanish La Liga champions.
Consequently, experts are forced to be in doubt regarding the decision as Higuain’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu may not actually be a good thing for the attacker.
It is interesting to see that the Madrid number 20 once played a massively instrumental role at the Spanish capital. He made an immense contribution towards Madrid winning the Liga BBVA under http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello.
Nevertheless, Jose Mourinho’s arrival at the Bernabeu has seen him become the secondary option, with Benzema as the new man upfront.
Even though the 24-year-old did not have the opportunity to start a majority of games, he still managed to make a great impact on the team.
Although he is believed to be in competition with Benzema, the two seem to share great chemistry on the pitch and the Argentine is also able to play with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 and Mesut Ozil in great flow.
This is also one of the reasons why there are many that he will be able to fit in perfectly at other teams as well, given his adaptability. However, it is not yet clear what the future holds for him.
