‘Higuain to AC Milan not agreed yet’ – Juve chief Marotta

Juventus have not yet finalised a deal with AC Milan for striker Gonzalo Higuain, according to club general manager Giuseppe Marotta.

The 30-year-old has been tipped to join the Rossoneri on an initial loan deal for €18 million (£16m/$21m), with a purchase option at the deal’s conclusion for an additional €36m (£32m/$42m).

Goal reported on Monday that Higuain’s brother and agent, Nicolas, and new Milan director of football Leonardo had both arrived at Casa Milan for talks over a deal.

Additionally, former Juve defender Leonardo Bonucci is nearing a move to make a return to Turin after one season with AC Milan. 

Juve defender Mattia Caldara could also be heading for the San Siro in a swap deal with Bonucci.
