Higuain on the market would mean Torres might still be an option and Drogba will certainly be available on a free transfer.... (Fuck imagine that after winning their first CL - considering their history even more disrespectful than DP)
And if he is being frozen out and such he would get to pick where to play next as his price wouldn't be unrealistic. He might prefer a team where he feels he can win and feel part of a great group.:xfinger:
