Speculation surrounding the future of Gonzalo Higuain appears to have been settled, as the Argentine striker has reportedly completed his switch to Juventus for a staggering £79m fee.
This is according to a report by Sky Italia which claims that the 28-year-old has already put pen to paper on a four-year deal with Napoli’s bitter rivals.
Sky Italia write that the former Real Madrid striker underwent a secret medical in the Spanish capital, with his salary believed to be £120,000 per week.

The Serie A champions do not boast enough money to make a £79m signing, meaning Higuain’s inevitable arrival all but confirms that Juventus will sell midfield superstar Paul Pogba.
The Frenchman has long been linked with a move to either Real Madrid or Manchester United, with the latter tipped to have won the race for the 23-year-old sensation.
The Bleus ace won’t come cheap, with only a world-record fee of £105m being enough to pry Pogba from the Bianconeri. However, Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri recently confirmed that the Scudetto holders have entered negotiations over a Paul Pogba transfer.
“Pogba is a Juventus player at the moment but we don't know what is going to happen. The club are looking after negotiations,” the Italian manager revealed (as per The Independent) during a pre-match press conference.
