‘£32m Arsenal Transfer Bid For Higuain’ – Report – Football Gossip

Arsenal are ready to make a move for Gonzalo Higuain this summer but are unwilling to pay his release clause.

Higuain is also a reported target of Manchester United but Napoli have come out to state they have no intentions of letting him go.

Napoli will not feature in the Champions League next season, and Napoli could struggle to hold onto a player who has made no secret of his desire to play in Europe’s top competition.

Higuain is under contract at Napoli until 2018 but the Italian press have suggested he has told president Aurelio De Laurentiis he wants to move on, with Arsenal the likely destination.

The Argentine global joined the Serie A club from Real Madrid in 2013 and has been impressive in his two seasons at the club, scoring 35 goals and providing 14 assists in 69 appearances in the league. “The clause is €94,736,000”.

It appears that Benzema is unsettled at Madrid as Cristiano Ronaldo may look set to take his place as a central player in the coming season. Especially that the Reds had a fantastic summer transfer window after using £29 million to sign midfielder James Milner, striker Danny Ings and attacking midfielder Roberto Firmino via Bleacher Report.

Muzzi Ozcan, who has links with clubs across Europe including Arsenal and West Ham, was spotted meeting Gunners striker Olivier Giroud in a restaurant past year amid rumors of a potential departure.
