Higuain Set To Terminate Contract With Napoli

Higuain Set To Terminate Contract With Napoli

The agent of Gonzalo Higuain stated that the striker will not renew his contract with Napoli.

The forward scored 36 goals last season as Napoli finished well off champions Juventus.

However, his agent brother Nicolas stated: “We came here with a plan for the Champions League, to be champions, to grow, and the club’s response has not been ideal.

He has the right to ask for his contract to be terminated, but we will choose not to renew so he becomes a free agent in 2018.

He continued: “Under these conditions we will respect the contract we have with Napoli but we will not renew it under any circumstances.

Gonzalo is super-professional and will continue to give his all.” Higuain also criticised Argentina coach Gerardo Martino: “The No. 9 should never come off in a final. He has to play the whole 90 minutes.

I never saw Carlos Bianchi taking off  Martin Palermo in a final, and let’s be honest: Kun Aguero is not a No. 9, Gonzalo is.”

The agent stressed: “I will not allow, as his brother and agent, everyone to take their shots at Gonzalo Higuain.

Gonzalo is not a murderer, and Aguero is not a traitor.“Gonzalo called me destroyed after the game, he tried to round Claudio Bravo and when he realised Bravo wasn’t coming out he tried the chip,” he added.
