Former Argentina national team striker Gonzalo Higuaín has found himself back in the spotlight after a fan happened to run into him at a sports store in Miami.
Details: The photo, which quickly went viral on social media, sent shockwaves through the football community. Fans are struggling to recognize in this man what was once one of the world's most lethal strikers.
In the photo, Higuaín appears completely laid back: sporting a thick, unkempt beard, visible receding hairline, and simple casual clothes.
It's worth noting that the Argentine striker retired back in 2022, finishing his career at Inter Miami. His storied journey also included spells at Spanish giants Real Madrid, Italian clubs Napoli, Juventus and Milan, English side Chelsea, and his boyhood club River Plate.
Reminder: José Mourinho revealed whether anyone from Real Madrid had reached out to him.
