Bayern join Higuain race

There is no doubt that Ronaldo's move to Turin is the signing of the summer so far, with the 'Old Lady' managing to lure the Portuguese away from the Spanish capital with the offer of a fresh challenge in Serie A.

His arrival sparked histeria in Italy, for both good and bad reasons as some celebrated his arrival and others looked on dumfounded at his €30m per year wage packet.

That figure, combined with the €100m transfer fee paid to 'Los Blancos' means that Juventus now have to sell. Among the favourites to be moved on is Higuain, who is known to be on Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri's wishlist.

However, new suitors are joining the race with each passing day, with German champions Bayern the latest side to register their interest, according to 'CalcioMercato.com'.

The Bavarians are still unsure whether Robert Lewandowski will remain with the club this summer and are making contingency plans for if he decides to leave.

Despite the interest in Higuain, no move is imminent, with Juve having slapped a €60m price tag on the striker, a fee which his suitors currently see as prohibitive.
