Napoli’s Gonzalo Higuain insists he knows nothing of speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona.
The forward signed for the Partenopei last summer and enjoyed an excellent first season in Serie A, prompting rumours the Catalan giants may make an offer for him.
“Me to Barcelona? I don’t know anything about it and I have nothing to say,” Higuain told a Press conference at Argentina’s World Cup base.
“Now I’m only thinking about the World Cup.”
The former Real Madrid man then discussed his country’s upcoming Last 16 tie against Switzerland, as well as his own personal quest to score his first goal of the tournament.
“We must beware of Switzerland, the World Cup has already had surprises in store. We can’t underestimate them.
“Three of my Napoli teammates play for them and they will want to get through.
“Forwards need goals but they must also work for the team. It’s not an obsession, but I hope it comes soon.”
