If there’s one man who finds himself in a horrible limbo these days, it’s Gonzalo Higuaín.
A favourite of Maurizio Sarri’s, the striker played under the manager at Napoli, Chelsea and Juventus, but with Andrea Pirlo now in charge, things have changed drastically.
The Argentina international isn’t wanted, and there is a need to find him an exit point which is far more difficult than it sounds. but there are apparently options in the Premier League, with both Fulham and Newcastle allegedly interested.
That’s according to Corriere dello Sport, who claim the Cottagers and the Magpies are ‘trying’ to sign the striker, who found the back of the net 11 times in 44 appearances last season.
Aston Villa and West Ham are also mentioned, but they are only said to be ‘observing’ the situation for now, clearly one step behind Scott Parker’s and Steve Bruce’s clubs.
Juventus want to sell Higuaín, but we’ll have to wait and see if anyone actually comes in with an offer.
Our guess here is both Fulham and Newcastle are trying to find out what a deal for Higuaín would entail, because there’s no mention of bids or contract talks.
Either way, the interest appears to be there.
