Higuain sets sight on Champions League title at Juventus

Higuain joined to Juventus after 90 million euros from Napoli, which is the 3 highest transfer record in the world and highest in Serie.

Higuain was feted throughout the city by their passionate fans, many of whom had tattoos of his goalscoring feats tattooed onto their bodies.

On Wednesday, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis claimed that the 28-year-old, who scored 36 league goals last season, had “betrayed” the Blues.

The transfer was confirmed after Higuain’s name was entered in the list of completed Serie A transfers on the official website, with Napoli confirming moments later that Juventus had met the release clause for the forward.

“When I was at (Real) Madrid one of my favourite players was (Alessandro) Del Piero”, he said. I didn’t want to think about anything, I just wanted to be on holiday with my family and friends.

He was more conciliatory towards coach Maurizio Sarri, saying: “I can only say nice things about him, he’s been a great coach to me and helped me to improve. As far as I know, there was nothing”. I am happy to be here.

Napoli’s fans might be more hard to placate. This club is built for winning.

But on the day his transfer was announced, Napoli supporters posted pictures of Higuain’s shirt being thrown into the toilet.

Salvatore Esposito – who plays gangster Genny Savastano in the hit Italian TV series Gomorra – said Higuain has become “poorer” for trading in the unconditional love of Napoli’s fans for a richer existence in chilly Turin. In the end, Napoli finished second, but Higuain was the star. I saw the insults. “Now I’m thinking about Juve”. “It’s a disaster”, said Totti.

“But, it’s completely normal now that when a foreigner comes to Italy he has the possibility of going to another team to make more money”. I couldn’t stand to be around him for another minute.
