Jose Mourinho Nominates Hernandez, Adebayor, Tevez for Real Madrid

Real Madrid Manager Jose Mourinho has submitted three candidates to President Florentino Perez as possibilities to replace forward Gonzalo Higuain.

The three candidates are Javier (Chicharito) Hernandez of Manchester United, Emmanuel Adebayor and Carlos Tevez of Manchester City.

Real Madrid appears to be willing to pay 33 million dollars and exchange Lassana Diara for Chicharito Hernandez. Sir Alex Ferguson is expected to say no to any offer that will have Chicharito Hernandez leaving Old Trafford.

Emmanuel Adebayor was proposed as a loan for the first few months of 2011 before he was hired on a permanent basis.

Carlos Tevez has expressed a desire to leave Manchester City and is willing to take offers from any club.

Jorge Valdano (a representative of Real Madrid) is expected to negotiate with Manchester United and Manchester City during the transfer month of January 2011 for Hernandez, Adebayor or Tevez.

The U.S. Latin television station Univision conducted a survey of 4,517 people concerning this subject. The question was, who should be the next forward for Real Madrid?

Chicharito Hernandez received the most votes with 60 percent, or 2,750 out of 4,517 votes.

Carlos Tevez received second place with 31 percent, or 1,381 out of 4,517 votes. The remaining votes were divided between Emmanuel Adebayor, Lucas Barrios (Borussia Dortmund), and Nelson Valdes (Hercules).

I do not think that Sir Alex Ferguson is going to release Chicharito Hernandez any time soon. He is one of the biggest stars in Manchester United and has delivered results for the team.

Carlos Tevez will probably accept the offer from Real Madrid if only to leave Manchester City. The price will also have to be right.

While this is my personal opinion, it would be interesting to see what will transpire in the January 2011 Open Window period.
