Gonzalo Higuain happy at Real Madrid

Gonzalo Higuain has played down talk linking him with a move away from Real Madrid.

The Argentine striker has recently been linked with a move to Juventus.

Jose Mourinho has said that he would like the 24-year-old to stay at the club after scoring 22 goals in La Liga last season.

Higuain has now said that he was touched by the Real Madrid fans, who begged him to stay following the last match of the season against Mallorca.

"Madrid's last match really touched me," Higuain told AS. "The fact that all the fans asked me to stay, that my teammates even thought about asking me that, or even Sergio Ramos' comments before the game.

"This was one of the best moments, if not the best moment that I have experienced at this club, in these five years.

"These are the memories that will stay with you forever."

Higuain arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu from River Plate in 2007.
