Chelsea agree €60m deal to sign Higuain

Chelsea and Juventus have reportedly agreed a €60 million fee in a deal for Gonzalo Higuain.

Reports in Italy from Sport Mediaset, as cited on the Metro, claim that the deal would be pending the arrival of Maurizio Sarri, who is expected to replace Antonio Conte in the coming days.

Higuain has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge since the summer window opened, as Chelsea go in search of a replacement for Alvaro Morata.

The latter struggled during his first season in London and is said to be keen on a move back to Italy.

Juventus themselves are ready to sell Higuain this summer and could move for Morata if the price is right.

Sarri is a huge fan of Higuain and the pair worked well together during their time in Naples.

The Old Lady have also been linked with an eye-catching €100 million move for Cristiano Ronaldo in recent days, but it is yet to be seen how Higuain’s future will affect that.
