UUUUUUUUHHH! Looks like both Machester Utd and Manchester City are looking to bid on the forward. I wouldn’t be surprised to see other teams jump all over this opportunity and bid for his services. Can anyone say bidding war?! OH YEAH!
Too bad, though. Real has a tendency to treat quality players poorly. Examples: Cambiasso and Robben. Look at these guys now! And the list goes on! I mean come on!
For them to let Higuaín go is a huge mistake especially since fellow Argentina international Angel Di Maria is set to join Real after the World Cup. These two work very well together. Just purely a huge mistake and a reason why it is very difficult to build a base and a collective Real when you have club members purchasing and transferring players rather than letting the coach (in this case Manuel Pellegrini) do what they are supposed to do.
But I don’t blame Gonzalo Higuaín. Real is Real for its history and quality players. Quality players on paper, that is. In truth, it’s been a while since they have been able to prove anything in Europe and even La Liga to any extent since Barcelona’s current dominace in La Liga.
It’s funny that Real is willing to pay bench players more than Gonzalo who is the team’s leading goal scorer, provides tons of good play, and trails only Lionel Messi for the Pichichi*.
