José Mourinho has publicly revealed that one of his summer transfer targets is Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney. However, since the Portuguese's return to Stamford Bridge, a move for Gonzalo Higuaín has not been ruled out.

It now seems the latter option may be the most likely as United appears reluctant to sell the England international to Chelsea.

It is no secret that Higuaín's other alternative is Napoli, whose club president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has revealed his interest in the Argentine striker and, according to Thursday's edition of 'Corriere dello Sport', the club is preparing a €30-million bid after the sale of Cavani to PSG for €64 million.
