Every top English club such as Chelsea FC, Manchester United, Arsenal FC and Liverpool FC are interested to get Higuain to play on their squad next season. But a move to Anfield reportedly excites the Argentine striker the most to the point of asking Napoli President Aurelo De Laurentis to consider an offer from Liverpool FC.

Higuain admitted that he is looking for a new adventure in his career as he wants to leave his present club this summer, and Anfield is his ideal destination.

The Argentine striker was signed by Napoli in 2013 from La Liga giants Real Madrid for €40 million after spending seven years of his career with the Los Blancos. During his time at the Stadio San Paulo, he played quite remarkably as he scored 53 goals in all competitions in two seasons.  He also helped his club to win another Coppa Italia in 2013-14 and Supercoppa Italiana in 2014.

However, it emerged a couple of weeks ago that De Laurentis is looking to sell Higuain if a club is willing to agree to pay for his  buy-out clause of €100 million. If no clubs will accept the deal, Napoli is willing to keep the Argentine striker in the club.

Now, with the player keen on a potential move, the club could be tempted to agree to sell him if a good offer will be on the table. Especially that the Reds had a fantastic summer transfer window after using £29 million to sign midfielder James Milner, striker Danny Ings and attacking midfielder Roberto Firmino via Bleacher Report.

After a tormented season last year, Reds manager Brendan Rodgers isn't finished to bolster up his club for next season's campaign. Liverpool FC certainly needed a top quality forward to have a chance of fighting for the title next season, where they had been playing pretty well in the previous years before they sold star striker Luis Suarez to FC Barcelona resulting to a poor 2014-15 season, sliding to 6th place in the Premier League.
