Higuain to Chelsea LIVE: Sarri confirms Higuain transfer: 'He is a great striker'
Higuain will move to Chelsea on an initial loan deal with an option to buy for 36 million euros and an obligation for Chelsea to extend the loan for next season if certain conditions are met. To put it in other words, his permanence in England will heavily depend on his performances under his former coach.
The negotiations between Juventus, Milan and Chelsea and Higuain are heavily linked to that of Kryzstof Piatek to Milan, with the Polish attacker being the natural replacement of El Pipita at the San Siro. You can follow this important day for both deals here.
