Juventus willing to pay 94.7 million euros for Higuain
Posted Monday, July 18, 2016 by Marca.com
Despite Napoli's insistence that they will not sell directly to their domestic rivals, Juventus are willing to pay the entire 94.7 million euro buy-out clause embedded into Gonzalo Higuain's contract.
Italian media outlets La Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport both suggest that the Bianconeri will part with the fee in full this summer.
Higuain's future had appeared to have been at Napoli as recently as May with chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis suggesting that he was ready to stay for at least five more years.
However, this quickly changed after it emerged the centre-forward would not sign a renewal following an indication of interest from Juventus.
This would be a move that would complete the Turin clubs' decimation of their nearest title rivals with Roma's Miralem Pjanic having already arrived at the Old Lady this summer.
The former Real Madrid striker is in great form and is fresh from a season in which he scored a league-leading 36 Serie A goals, making him one of the continents' most sought after forwards.
