# 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](https://metro.co.uk/2018/07/04/chelsea-agree-53m-deal-juventus-sign-gonzalo-higuain-7682353/), 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.
