Higuain targeting Euro glory

Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain has told his agent he will not leave the Spanish giants until he wins the Champions League.

The Argentina international is in competition with Karim Benzema for a starting spot in Jose Mourinho’s team and speculation over the last six months has linked the marksman with an exit from the Santiago Bernabeu, possibly to Chelsea.

Despite this, Higuain’s agent and father Jorge said there has been no contact from the Stamford Bridge outfit and that his son is focused on attaining European glory.

“No one has called us,” Higuain senior told Marca. “Until we win the Champions League, we will not move.”

Real were linked with a move for Sergio Aguero last year before he joined Manchester City from Atletico Madrid, and reports in Spain have resurfaced that Jose Mourinho could try to sign Higuain’s compatriot at the end of the season.

Jorge Higuain said that if a third striker joined the Madrid squad, then the 24-year-old could consider a move.

“If they bring Aguero in then we will start to listen to offers,” he said.

Higuain has scored 14 goals in 19 La Liga appearances this term.
