The Argentina global, who scored 38 times in 42 appearances for Napoli last season, joined the Serie A champions for a club record fee of 90 million euros ($100M) last month.
Robert Prosinecki was one of many who were surprised at the sight of Higuain’s supposed spare tyre, with the gruff ex-Croatia worldwide going out of his way to weigh in – see what we did there? – on the debate. They paid 90 million for him and he’s turned up like a pig. “I can’t imagine what Massimiliano Allegri’s face was like when he saw him after chasing his signature so much”. “But they will make him fit soon”.
The 28-year-old looked overweight when he played his first game for the club in last week’s friendly win over West Ham, prompting criticism from some fans on social media, as well as Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis. He said, “It’s like running with a block of concrete”.
