The Daily Mail today indicates that Real Madrid may be prepared to cash in on Argentine forward Gonzalo Higuain for as little as $25 million as they look to improve an already star-studded squad ahead of next season.

With 13 goals in 25 La Liga appearances last term, Higuain, 23, is young and has an impressive goalscoring record at the highest domestic and international levels.

This makes him one of the top European transfer targets this summer, especially in light of the fact that Tottenham Hotspur only paid the Spanish club $15 million for Dutchman Rafael Van der Vaart, who has been a revelation in the Premier League.

It seems that the front runners in any transfer chase that may transpire would be Arsenal, Spurs and Manchester City, although Higuain is unlikely to accept playing in the Europa League. Couple that with indications that compatriot and lead role Carlos Tevez is to stay in England next year and it would appear that the Gunners are favourites to land Higuain.
