adminDespite numerous suggestions that the 25-year-old was on the brink of arriving in North London, Marca say there has been no agreement between the two clubs as one of the longest transfer sagas of the summer runs on. Carlo Ancelotti’s arrival as Real boss was thought to be a catalyst for the move, but the Spanish newspaper now say Higuain may be more likely to stay at the Bernabeu.
Priced in the region of £23million, it is thought the Spanish giants have not yet put a fixed fee on the Argentina international, which could be a stumbling block for Arsene Wenger. Higuain’s father indicated earlier in the week that the move should be completed shortly, but reports in Spain suggest Real may want to hold on to their possession.
“We do not negotiate with any club without permission of the selling club,” he told TuttoMercato. “We have permission (from Madrid) and hopefully we can soon see my son in the Premier League.”
The striker’s brother Nicolas Higuain shared the same view, telling the same Italian website: “If Tevez joins Juve, is Higuain closer to Arsenal? I think so
“Juventus is a great club, but Gonzalo is too expensive for them.
“Napoli are a strong team. Having said that, I cannot deny that Gonzalo is now close to Arsenal.” — Mailonline.
