Higuain agent: 'No move for Gonzalo Higuain until Euro success'

Gonzalo Higuain's agent and father says that his son will only leave the Bernabeu when he wins the Champions League or Real Madrid bring in a third striker.

Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain has told his agent that he will not consider leaving the club until he wins the Champions League.

The Argentina international has been continually linked with a move away from the Bernabeu, with Chelsea reportedly interested.

Jose Mourinho has plenty of competition in his Real Madrid squad, leaving Higuain in direct competition with France international Karim Benzema for the role of lead striker. Despite this, the 24-year-old's agent and father Jorge Higuain has said that there has been no contact from Stamford Bridge and his son is only concentrating on European glory.

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

Higuain senior also said that a move will only be considered if Real Madrid were to bring in another striker. The Spanish giants have again been linked with a summer move for Manchester City's Sergio Aguero.

"If they bring Aguero in then we will start to listen to offers," said Higuain senior.

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