After Rafa Benitez's farewell and the second consecutive season without qualifying for the Champions League, according to several sources Gonzalo Higuain is considering leaving Napoli. The Pipita is the idol of the southern fans and scored 53 goals in 104 matches for the azzurro team, also providing 23 assists.
These numbers make the Argentine one of the most desired forwards in Europe; however, negotiating with De Laurentiis will not be easy. The Partenopei president sells his 'jewels' at a high price (as happened with Lavezzi and Cavani) and today, through the club's official radio, Kiss Kiss Napoli, confirmed that to acquire Higuain's services, his release clause of 94 million euros must be paid.
De Laurentiis, who two years ago paid 37 million euros, does not seem willing to grant discounts for Pipita, who has been linked in the last week to several Premier League clubs and AC Milan. Napoli's intention is to keep the forward, although after the Copa America, they will have to meet with agents and find out his desire to be part of Sarri's project, the new azzurro coach.
