DBasia.news – Juventus CEO, Giuseppe Marotta, denied accepting the offerings for Gonzalo Higuain from AC Milan and Chelsea. But, Marotta opens the opportunity to let go of Higuain.
Gonzalo Higuain was rumored to leave Juventus in the 2018 summer transfer market due to Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival.
Ronaldo’s transfer threatened Gonzalo Higuain’s position from Juventus. Moreover, Ronaldo will be the main striker of La Vecchia Signora.
As a result, Gonzalo Higuain is predicted to leave Allianz Stadium. Juventus won’t just save the player with 7 million euro (Rp1,17 trillion) salary-a-season on the bench.
The news about Gonzalo Higuain’s situation in Juventus made Chelsea and AC Milan approaching him. They assumed that the Argentinian player is sharp in front of the net.
If he joins Chelsea, Gonzalo Higuain will be reunited with Maurizio Saari. Meanwhile, AC Milan has the plan to return Leonardo Bonucci to Juventus as an exchange.
However, Marotta insisted there were no offerings to Gonzalo Higuain either from AC Milan or Chelsea. He thinks that Juventus is considering Higuain’s position.
“I won’t deny that with the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo we’ve got a quality attacking department that’s a bit crowded,” Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.
“We’ll evaluate things with Higuain, but nothing concrete has arrived from Chelsea and Milan,” he continued.
Gonzalo Higuain was Juventus’ most expensive spending before Cristiano Ronaldo came. During the two seasons playing for I Bianconeri, Higuain achieved two titles, Scudetto and Coppa Italia.
