Chelsea offered Higuain as Juve seek Morata deal

Italian giants Juventus have reportedly offered Chelsea the chance to sign Gonzalo Higuain, as they look to re-sign Alvaro Morata from the Blues, according to The Evening Standard.

The Argentine has scored 30 goals for the Serie A champions since his £78m move from Napoli in 2016, and Chelsea have previously been linked with a move for the 30-year-old.

Morata has had a fairly inconsistent time in London so far, and is struggling to settle. His 15 goals have seen him be overlooked for a World Cup place by Spain, and if he wants to leave, Chelsea may be forced to listen to offers for the 25-year-old.

It’s reported that Juventus offered a two-year loan for Morata, who was spotted meeting sporting director Fabio Paratici last week, but that offer is likely to be rejected.

Bringing Higuain to Stamford Bridge would be an exciting prospect for Chelsea fans, with his prolific goal-scoring record across Europe making him one of the most reputable forwards in the game.
