Several teams are interested in Javier Chicharito Hernandez, according to various sources reporting that the star athlete is looking to leave Manchester United after a season in which his role at the Red Devils was seriously diminished.
Transfering season is soon approaching and rumors keep on piling on that Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is in the crosshairs of at least three major teams: Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Juventus.
According to Spanish newspaper "Sport," Barcelona is monitoring eight forwards closely. The list, which is headed by Hernandez, also includes Leandro Damiao (Inter de Porto Alegre, 23), Miroslav Klose (Lazio, 34), Lukaku (West Bromwich, 20), Fernando Torres (Chelsea, 29), Daniel Osvaldo (Roma, 27), Mario Gomez (Bayern, 27) and Wilfried Bony (Vitesse, 24).
Star forward Falcao's departure from Atletico de Madrid to Monaco in France is almost a given, so the team is exploring options to replace its Colombian star. This is not the first time that rumors have linked "Chicharito" to the Atletico. But also on the list of possible Falcao replacement's are Ecuadorian striker Christian Benitez, who just had a formidable season in Mexico winning the title with America, and Ecuadorian striker, Jackson Martinez, who has played extremely well with Porto Portuguese.
Juventus is the newest team to claim interest in the Mexican player and is rumored to be willing to pay close to twenty million euros to sign the star, according to The Mirror. But this would only happen if Juventus can't manage to lure Gonzalo Higuain.
Rumors continue as the days go by and it looks like Javier Hernandez's run with the Red Devils could very well come to an end, but for now the "Chicharito" says he will focus on his work with the Mexican National Team.
In recent months there has been talk and other rumors swirling as well that Hernandez Balcazar is also being looked at by teams like Real Madrid and Valencia.
The Manchester United Star will join forces with Mallorca forward on Saturday in a friendly match against the Nigerian National Team in Houston. The game will be a preparation for the upcoming Confederations Cup to be played in Brazil from June 15 until June 30, which is considered a first test of strength for the Mexican National Team.
Among the other teams that are qualified for the Cup, Japan, Italy, Spain and Uurguay stand out. The cup is also seen as a warm up for Brazil, who will host the much larger World Cup in 2014.
