CM EXCLUSIVE: Juve, green light from Exor for Higuain
This doesn’t mean that now the Argentine is ready to join Serie A defending champions, but for sure Juve have all the meanings to make a concrete attempt for the 29-year-old, who could become a cornerstone of a team which can try to win the Champions League.
The azzurri’s president Aurelio De Laurentiis doesn’t want to sell the former Real Madrid man, especially to the bianconeri; on the other hand, the Italian champions have already talked with the player’s brother and agent Nicolas Higuain, and, moreover, they could offer even more than Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.
Juve would have in any case to sell some important players to sign El Pipita, even if this doesn’t mean that they will have to renounce to their stars Leonardo Bonucci and Paul Pogba: the bianconeri want in fact –as reported earlier- to build an extremely competitive team. For this reason, the Serie A defending champions have a B plan: if Higuain won’t join, they will sign in any case a top player like Karim Benzema or Mauro Icardi.
