News outlet Gazzetta dello Sport claim the Serie A outfit are desperate to keep the goal ace, after a stellar season where he helped the club reach second place in the domestic league, just behind Juventus.

Higuain has become one of Europe’s most coveted players after dazzling in the Italian top tier this season. The Argentine star bagged an astonishing 36 goals in 35 games, making him one of the top players on the continental goal scorers’ chart.

The news of his new contract offer looks set to be a huge blow to Manchester United who are keen on signing the talented forward. Jose Mourinho will be unveiled as the new Red Devils boss and the Portuguese is reportedly keen to sign the target man as he is an admirer. But Napoli’s improved contract offer is reportedly worth around £100,000 a week.

It would commit the former Real Madrid striker to the club until 2020 and might put a dampener on United’s pursuit. Vesuviani President Aurelio De Laurentiis will only sell the striker if his €94m buyout clause is met and has arranged a meeting with Higuain’s agent and brother Nicolas Higuain. If you want to see Gonzalo in action at Napoli you need to be quick – tickets are available from this site, though for a limited time only!

Italian journalist Emanuele Giulianelli claimed this week that Mourinho has already held talks with Higuain’s brother, Nicola, about a move.

Aside, The Red Devils, Paris St. Germain and Chelsea are also keen on landing the player but the reports of the new deal would likely end the speculations. Mourinho is also eyeing Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic; the 34-year-old could become United’s first signing under the new regime as he leaves PSG this sumer.

HIGUAIN PREFERS LIVERPOOL

Napoli top rated talent Gonzalo Higuain says he favours the move to Liverpool than the host of other options at his disposal. The striker who is 28 years old is in great form at the Serie A helping the club to the second spot in the league after scoring a record 36 goals in 35 appearances.

The player says he favours a move to Anfield over any of the alternatives he has. His excellent goal scoring abilities is required by many top clubs including Arsenal and Manchester United.

The player has always been linked to English teams but the move has always been thwarted by one thing or the other. He has also being linked to the Bundesliga, with the spielautomaten website reporting news of a bid that have since been down-played by Carlo Ancelotti.

The Daily Mirror reports that the former Real Madrid forward says he is flattered by the interest by the manager of The Reds, Jurgen Klopp and would be willing to join the German on Merseyside despite the lack of European football next season. The loss of Liverpool to Sevilla ended the hopes of Liverpool playing in the UEFA Champions league next season and finishing eight in the Premier League means no action in Europe.

According to the Automatenherz tipsters, Christian Benteke is most likely to leave after enduring a torrid season despite his 32.5 million Pounds move last summer. Daniel Sturridge is also unclear about his next move. The Gunners were the favourites to sign Higuain, despite past moves not going through until Higuain’s comments.

Napoli have set their price at €30m for Manolo Gabbiadini as the player has resolved to leave the club. The 24-year old got little opportunity this season as Higuain was everywhere. According to Corriere dello Sport, the player has now made up his mind to leave, especially after being ruled out of the squad for Euro 2016. Clubs interested in acquiring the player include Wolfsburg, Hamburg, West Ham, Stoke City, Inter and Fiorentina.

ARSENAL STILL WANT HIGUAIN

English Premier League side, Arsenal are really keen on Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain. The Gunners want to add the prolific centre forward to their attacking options ahead of next season where they hope to challenge for the EPL after losing out to Leicester City this season, amidst a lot of voiced out frustrations.

Napoli striker and Arsenal transfer target Gonzalo Higuain has an exit strategy in mind to engineer a move to a bigger club, according to reports. The Argentine has been in sensational form this season with 38 goals in all competitions, including 36 in 35 Serie A games, a new record for a single season in Italy.

Higuain is now unsurprisingly in demand ahead of the summer, with Arsenal recently linked with a move for him as they look to bring in an upgrade on the misfiring Olivier Giroud. Although the 28-year-old currently has a release clause of around £74million, Napoli’s desire to tie him down to a new contract could see him demand a lower buy-out fee included in the deal, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Higuain’s current contract expires in 2018, so he could be in a strong position to demand a lower asking price, with £46m thought to be his offer at the moment. Arsenal are not known for forking out big money for players, and a £46m move for Higuain would represent a club-record transfer for the Gunners. Still, it would make the prolific star a more realistic target than he may be at present, whilst also signalling that he’d be keen to keep the option of an exit open.

Arsenal are also interested in other signings to beef up the squad ahead of the summer. Lots of other players that make up the current squad are also set to be shipped out.

Despite recent struggles, Gonzalo Higuain still is a central figure for Napoli

The 2015 edition of the Copa America concluded on July 4th with the finals being competed between Argentina and Chile, after an intense and dramatic penalty session it was the Chilean national side which came out on top with the victory.

Gonzalo Higuain entered the pitch at the 74th minute and even though he only managed to perform for a few minutes it was a disastrous time for the Argentine attacker as the 27 year old forward missed some good chances of scoring and when the penalty session arrived, Higuain’s shot went sky high, his shot wasn’t even close on finding the back of the net.

Even though Higuain has not been playing at his best, the recently appointed manager of Napoli Maurizio Sarri and the director of the Italian club Cristiano Giuntoli still have plans for Gonzalo Higuain and they aren’t interested in selling the player unless a substantially high offer in the region of €90 million is launched.

Napoli’s Maurizio Zirri said: “He’s central to our project. He’s a strong and unpredictable player; he has extraordinary qualities in linking up with his teammates in attack. So far I don’t think he’s shown his full potential, he still has room for improvement. I really hope I can pull even more out of him.”

This is bad news for Arsenal and Liverpool as both of the Premier League clubs were interested in signing Gonzalo Higuain but with such a high price tag, it’s just not a wise decision to spend that much money in a player that is simply not worth it.

Following the departure of Rafael Benitez from Napoli, Maurizio Sarri was selected as the successor and his task is to help keep the Italian club in the top 5 spots of the Serie A.

HIGUAIN JOINS

Napoli manager Rafa Benitez has said that he is delighted to have the Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain at the club. Napoli recently spent around £ 35 million to bring the 25-year-old to Italy.

He has been at Real Madrid for the last seven seasons and Benitez is delighted to have a player of his stature at Napoli. Napoli were on the lookout for a big-name striker especially after the departure of Edinson Cavani, who has been a major contributor to the club’s goals over the last few years. He was found to French club PSG for £ 55 million.

Napoli have made a couple of signings already in the transfer window since the arrival of Benitez. The Spaniard has said that Higuain is a complete striker, who is going to be crucial to the attacking style of football that will be adopted by Napoli in the coming season. Even though they have lost their influential manager Walter Mazzarri to Inter Milan in the summer, Napoli are spoken of as one of the title favourites in the coming season. They finished second in the Italian league last time around, but with the addition of a few players, they are now extremely strong.
Benitez has also brought in Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina on a season long loan deal.

“We were looking for a quality player. We were looking for someone playing at the highest level. We have signed a player who comes from Real Madrid and we have signed a striker who has scored a hatful of goals and who will adapt very well to our system – an attacking system. We needed a player like this. We are all working together to ensure the players we want arrive,” said Benitez, who expects Higuain to be an important player at the club for the next five years.
