“Juventus Football Club can today confirm that it has purchased the registration rights of Gonzalo Higuain for €90m, payable in two financial years," the statement reads.

“The player has agreed a five-year contract with the club.”

Meanwhile, Napoli informed fans of the Argentine's departure via their Twitter feed.

“Juventus have exercised the release clause for the acquisition of the sporting rights of Gonzalo Gerardo Higuain,” an announcement on Napoli’s official Twitter feed reads.

The Azzurri appear to have moved quickly in their bid to replace Higuain, with reports in the Netherlands claiming they have agreed a fee with Ajax that would see them sign Arkaduisz Milik.
