Gonzalo Higuain “will stay at Juventus for a long time,” said his brother, but he “expects Napoli fans to treat him well” at the San Paolo.
“I and the entire family are very proud of Gonzalo for becoming one of the most valuable players in the world,” brother Federico told Tuttosport.
Federico is also a professional football player in MLS with Columbus Crew.
“He’s the same guy as always, but we’re happy that he achieved his dream of becoming one of the best in the world.
Gonzalo Higuain “will stay at Juventus for a long time,” said his brother, but he “expects Napoli fans to treat him well” at the San Paolo.
“I and the entire family are very proud of Gonzalo for becoming one of the most valuable players in the world,” brother Federico told Tuttosport.
Federico is also a professional football player in MLS with Columbus Crew.
“He’s the same guy as always, but we’re happy that he achieved his dream of becoming one of the best in the world.
“Gonzalo decided to move to Juve all by himself and followed his own sensations. He seems very happy now, as he gets along well with everyone at the club, the staff and loves the city.
“When I went to Turin for a visit, I could see how happy he was. I think Gonzalo will stay at Juventus for a long time. As his brother, I hope so, as Juventus are not only a top club, but also have a family atmosphere.”
Not only will the Argentine return to Naples for a Serie A clash in April, but also the Coppa Italia semi-final after walking out for €90m.
“I think these will be difficult games for Juventus, but not for Gonzalo. He scored so many goals wearing the Napoli jersey, so I expect the fans to treat him well.
“As kids we’d play on the patio outside our house all the time. Gonzalo was usually ‘playing’ the Hernan Crespo or Enzo Francescoli role, while Nicolas was Diego Maradona, I was Zinedine Zidane or Juan Roman Riquelme…
“Gonzalo has always been quiet and reserved. When he wasn’t playing football, he’d be at home with Mum and Dad. All three of us brothers like to sing karaoke, even if we’re all tone deaf, but it’s still fun.”
