MADRID: Juventus have signed Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli for £75.3 million. This transfer is the world’s third most expensive transfer and a club record for Juventus. Higuain had joined Napoli from Real Madrid in 2013 for £34.5 million. He had also been linked to a transfer to the premier league as Arsenal was linked to Argentinean striker earlier this month. The £75.3million fee for Higuain, who started his career with River Plate in Argentina, is third highest behind those paid by Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo (£80million) and Gareth Bale (£85million). Higuain won the Capocannoniere – Serie A’s golden boot – last season after scoring a league record-equaling 36 goals as Napoli finished runners-up to Juventus. It was only the second time this century a player had scored more than 30 goals in a Serie A season, following Luca Toni’s tally of 31 for Fiorentina in 2005-06. The transfer could have an effect on Manchester United’s move for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, with the 23 year old reportedly the subject of a £100m bid from the Premier League club.
