With the transfer fee of £75.3m, Higuain is now the 3rd most expensive player in the World! Wow!

He signed a 5 years contract with Juventus for the price of £6.3m per season.

Higuain passed a medical in Madrid on Friday after Juventus agreed to pay the 28-year-old’s full release clause – a record transfer fee for the Serie A.

The amount involved in this deal is only surpassed by Real Madrid buy over Cristiano Ronaldo (£80m) in 2009 and Gareth Bale (£85m) in 2013.

He is the fifth player signed by  manager Massimiliano Allegri after purchasing Miralem Pjanic, Dani Alves, Medhi Benatia and Marko Pjaca.

Higuain, who also reportedly attracted interest from Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, joined Napoli from Real Madrid in 2013 and had two years remaining on his contract in Naples.

He ended the 2015/16 season as the top scorer in Serie A with 36 goals and scored 91 times in 146 appearances for Napoli.

Meanwhile, Pogba’s attempt to move over to Manchester United are still being stalled, and hopefully not abandoned.
