OFFICIAL: Gonzalo Higuain joins MLS club Inter Miami

Juventus boss Andrea Pirlo had already confirmed that Gonzalo Higuain will leave Juventus this summer.

Andrea Pirlo became Juventus manager replacing Maurizio Sarri after their defeat in the Champions League quarter-final against Lyon. Pirlo has decided to release some of the players from his project. Blaise Matuidi has already left the club for MLS side Inter Miami.

In a press interview, Pirlo said: “We’ve decided together with Gonzalo Higuaín that he will leave the club this summer. He’s out of the project and we’re ready to let him go. Gonzalo has given so much but the story must close.”.

Gonzalo Higuain has followed the footsteps of his Juventus teammate Matuidi and has joined David Beckham’s MLS side, Inter Miami. He has now signed the contract and will join them for free.

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.

Paul McDonough, Inter Miami CF’s COO & Sporting Director said: “We are pleased to close a deal with Gonzalo and add an experienced and successful goalscorer, who has excelled in the world’s best teams and leagues. Our ownership group has always said our goal is to not only bring elite players to Inter Miami, but also good people that share our ambition and aspiration of making history in North American fútbol, and we’re confident we have found that in Gonzalo.”

Gonzalo Higuain, who will wear the No 9 jersey at Inter Miami said: “First of all, I want to thank Inter Miami for the effort it has made to sign me. I think it will be a beautiful experience in my life. It’s what I was looking for – a new experience, a new league and a beautiful city. I’m really happy to be here and that it’s official. My goal is to try to transmit all the experience I acquired in Europe and to help the team grow.” 

“I feel good, I feel whole as a player. I’m motivated to try a new league and help the team grow. Individually, my goal is to demonstrate that I can contribute and continue playing great fútbol here, and I hope I can achieve that because I have all the tools necessary to succeed. Inter Miami is a team in construction but there is already a good base to reach important goals,”.

Juventus are on the verge of signing Edin Dzeko from AS Roma as Higuain’s replacement.
