# Chelsea’s move for Higuain under threat

Chelsea’s move for Gonzalo Higuain has been plunged into doubt after a disagreement between Maurizio Sarri and Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia, according to a report on the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/gonzalo-higuain-transfer-row-chelsea-13832713).

The initial report from [CalcioMercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/exclusive-rising-tension-between-sarri-and-chelsea-as-marina-gra-86026?utm_source=notification&utm_medium=web+push&utm_campaign=web+push+calciomercato+english) states that tensions between Sarri and Granovskaia have risen regarding Higuain, with the manager desperate to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

However, Granovskaia is not keen on paying €50m for the Argentine striker and she has now put the potential transfer on hold.

Sarri and Higuain combined brilliantly during their time together in the Serie A with Napoli and Sarri wants to work with the forward again.

Chelsea are on the lookout for a striker in the January transfer window, with many pundits and fans believing that they are lacking a clinical finisher in their squad.

The 31-year-old is on a loan deal at AC Milan, who have the option to make his move permanent at the end of the season for €36m.

Milan are keen to keep Higuain till the end of the season but if Chelsea offers a handsome amount of money, the Juventus may be inclined to letting him move to London.
