Gonzalo Higuain is considering his options at Real Madrid after again seeing Karim Benzema favoured by coach Jose Mourinho for the defeat to Barcelona.

El Confidencial says the Argentina striker is fed-up with the lack of support he's received from Mourinho, despite his goal scoring form this season.

While Higuain penned a new deal at the end of last season, his €4 million salary still falls well short of the club's top earners - including great rival Benzema.

Chelsea and Liverpool are among clubs monitoring Higuain's situation.
