Reports suggest Juventus would only allow Gonzalo Higuain to leave for offers above €63m, to avoid making a loss.
The Argentinian striker has been linked with a summer move, and admitted yesterday that he’d like to play in the Premier League.
A move to Inter as part of a deal for Mauro Icardi has been mooted, but Gazzetta dello Sport insists the Bianconeri have no intention of letting Pipita go.
Reports suggest Juventus would only allow Gonzalo Higuain to leave for offers above €63m, to avoid making a loss.
The Argentinian striker has been linked with a summer move, and admitted yesterday that he’d like to play in the Premier League.
A move to Inter as part of a deal for Mauro Icardi has been mooted, but Gazzetta dello Sport insists the Bianconeri have no intention of letting Pipita go.
The only thing which could change their stance would be a big offer, and that would have to be at least €63m.
Juve spent €94m to sign Higuain from Napoli two seasons ago, but clubs break down the cost of a player over the course of their contract, a process known as amortisation.
Therefore the forward’s transfer fee and wages are broken down over the five years of his contract.
To break even, Gazzetta reports, Juventus would therefore have to sell Higuain for €63m, saving on his wages and bonuses for the next three years as well as bringing in a transfer fee.
Pipita earns around €7.5m net per season, but the Bianconeri will pay him a gross wage which is then taxed.
