Gonzalo Higuain’s brother and agent, Nicolas, has confirmed the Argentine forward will leave Juventus and will not continue in Italy.


The former Napoli forward, who has picked up three Scudetti and three Coppa Italia during his time in Italy, will move on this summer.

Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo told the 32-year-old he had no future in Turin and his agent Nicolas has revealed he has several offers.

“We appreciated Pirlo’s honesty,” Nicola Higuain told Tuttosport.

“He told Gonzalo what he thought. It doesn’t always happen, and it was important.

“We are still talking about a striker who has scored 350 goals in recent years. To achieve that tally, it takes 10 years. Then unfortunately, we forget quickly.

“We are in football and we know that these things can happen.”

Higuain’s brother claims the former River Plate striker will never move to Boca Juniors and confirmed he will not continue in Serie A.

“[There’s interest] from France, England, Spain, China and USA. Many offers, but none that makes your leg shake.

“We will evaluate calmly, but two things are certain; Gonzalo won’t play in Italy and, above all, he will never play for Boca Juniors.

“He grew up at River and will never go to a rival.”
