The Italian Club JUVENTUS has been interested & has asked on
various occasions the situation at REAL MADRID of the 22 year old
Argentine International forward GONZALO HIGUAÍN. The Italian
paper “Il Corriere dello Sport” has again informed that Juventus
is still interested & willing to put up 35M€ to attempt to convince
Real Madrid to sell.
It wasn’t always smooth sailing for Higuaín at the Spanish Club,
definitely nothing like this season where he is the Clubs leading
goal scorer to date with 12 goals. Since his arrive in Spain with
just 19 years his adaptation to Spanish Football & with his current
Club has been a long & painful process. Apart from this his arrival
found a formable hurdle to jump in the name of Raul, Captain of
Real Madrid, who was untouchable & in fine form before
progressively lowering in form due to the passing of time.
The period of uncertainty, frustration, the adaptation & lack of
effectiveness lead Real Madrid many a time to consider selling
Gonzalo Higuaín. His name was mentioned in the complex transfer
operations of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká & others that just had
him in mind. However, Higuaín exploded with all his talent late
last season with important goals when coming on as a substitute
that gave signs that he was more than just an ordinary player.
This season has seen Higuaín win a permanent place in the team
leaving on the bench both Raul & the star signing Benzema, a
string of consistent goals taking his tally currently to 12 & convincing
the Argentine ( a tough critic of Higuaín) National Coach Maradona
to call up the forward for International duties.
Higuaín has earned himself his place & has exploded with all his
talent with hard work & humility, of which he has combined with
goals, to win the respect of his Club, peers & the fans. If Higuaín
continues his evolution like up till now the player could reach World
Class status soon with the sky being the limit. Juventus knows this
& wishes to incorporate the player asap before this major career
jump, but one doubts that Real Madrid will sell at all, especially
now that its 22 year old investment is finally paying dividends. The
latest news from Spanish Sports daily “Marca” is that the Spanish
Club is already working towards extending the players contract
until 2016, with the corresponding increase in economic conditions.
