Gonzalo Higuain joined Juventus in 2016 after a fantastic spell with Napoli. But it didn’t work so well for him. In his four seasons at Turin, he was sent on loan to Chelsea and AC Milan.
Higuain made 149 appearances for Juventus and has scored 66 goals. Last season under Maurizio Sarri he has scored only 11 goals in his 43 games. It is quite natural that he is not in the plan of Juventus’s new manager.
Juventus has not received any bid for the Argentine striker till now. According to some sources, he can go to MLS or to China. But Higuain believes that he still has plenty to offer to European football.
Some sources say that Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers can be a possible destination for him. His experience will be a good addition to the Wolves squad. It will be cleared in the next few days.
