Juventus close to completing deal for Gonzalo Higuain

Gonzalo Higuain's transfer to Juventus could be announced in the coming hours with the Argentinian already passing a medical in Madrid.

The Bianconeri are preparing to spend 94.7 million euros on the Napoli striker and, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, the striker will receive around 7.5 million as a net salary per year becoming, at this moment, the most expensive signing this summer.

So far, no official confirmation of the deal has been reported by the Italian media, and neither Juve or Napoli have announced anything on their part, but everything indicates that Higuain will be wearing black and white next season.

Although an eye-watering an amount of money, Juve would have the necessary fire power should Paul Pogba complete his protracted move back to Manchester United for 120 million euros.
