River Plate sporting director Enzo Francescoli has confirmed his club’s interest in Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain. “For us, he’s a very important player.”

River Plate sporting director Enzo Francescoli has confirmed his club’s interest in Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain. “For us, he’s a very important player.”
Higuain is serving the downtime in Argentina with his mother and sparked more speculation of a return to River this week as he held a videoconference lesson for their youth players.
However, the situation is made complicated by his desire to see out the remainder of his Juve contract, which does not expire until the summer of 2021.
“He’s the one who decides. Today he wants to respect his contract with Juve, so we’ll see at a later date,” Francescoli, a former Cagliari and Torino player, told Tuttojuve.com.
“Obviously, for us, it’s important that the player wants to come back here. We’ll wait to speak to him through official channels in the future.
“It’s always nice when a River idol comes back to wear our jersey. For us he’s a very important player, he grew up here and his father also played for River.
“We’ll see what decision he makes in the future.”
