Saying Chicharito has been a Bundesliga revelation since joining Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 would be an understatement, as seen by his four Player of the Month awards in the German top-tier.
If you were of many wondering why the Mexican hasn’t been linked with one of Europe’s elite despite his impressive goascoring form, wonder no more: one of La Liga’s biggest clubs are reportedly eying the striker.
This is according to The Sun, with the British tabloid reporting that not only would Javier Hernandez return to the Spanish top-flight, where he enjoyed a short-spell with Real Madrid, but he could in addition rejoin Los Blancos.
The 11-time Champions League winners’ interest in the former Man United ace is merely just that – interest – with no suggestion of a bid or formal contact being made.
The Spanish giants are keeping tabs on the Bayer Leverkusen forward, due in action on Tuesday vs. Tottenham. However, a move for the Mexican can be expected should he continue doing what he does best: score goals that is.
Chicharito has seven goals under his belt so far this season, having made only eight appearances, having scored a staggering 26 in all competitions for his Bundesliga employers.
Real Madrid, should they decide to swoop in for the 28-year-old, could face stiff competition from within La Liga. According to AS, Valencia are keen on the forward as well, having failed to replace Paco Alcacer over the summer.
The striker won't come cheap, though, given that his release clause is valued at £40m.
