Federico Higuain (Real's Bro) is younger (28) and is staring to buck the trend of younger players coming to play here - but all in all - everyones first choice is Europe. Spain - Italy - England - France, etc in that order. (At least in my country).

Argentina has it's own problems at the domestic level, as well. Most countries these days do.

But every league in the world, aside from the top 3 or 4, struggle to keep players. French teams constantly lose their best players. Same with the big Dutch teams. That's just a reality of the game

All you can do is build up your scouting and academy programs, and work on making the domestic experience as fun as possible. Also, have a rational transfer policy, and reinvest profit. Your best players will always move on, but you can still have a fun league.
