News Britannia: Higuain wants Liverpool move, Nainggolan prefers Man Utd over Chelsea
The Argentinean striker is reportedly very attracted by the chance of working with the German boss. The Anfield Road side, however, are planning to make an offer in the region of £ 32.5 million, which is less than half than the player’s £ 71.6 million release clause.
Higuain netted 71 goals in 104 Serie A games and has two years left on his contract.
Today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that another big name of Serie A football would like to move to Manchester United.
AS Roma’s Radja Nainggolan has reportedly turned down an offer from Chelsea as he prefers to join the Red Devils in the summer, though his permanence in Rome is also in the cards as the player himself has been repeatedly suggesting.
