Tuttosport reported just this morning that Higuain was ‘tormented’ by fears over COVID-19 and anxiety for his mother, amidst speculation he could stay in Argentina and return to former club River Plate.

However, dad Jorge told LM Nequen: “Everything that’s been said about Gonzalo isn’t true.

“I can tell you one thing: Gonzalo will stay with Juventus because he still has a year-and-a-half left on his contract and he’ll respect it. He’ll see out his current contract.

“In 18 months, Gonzalo will decide what to do because he’ll be the master of his own destiny.

“This is the reality and what will happen in Pipita’s career, unless other things happen that are unforeseen.

“But I can guarantee you that, in Gonzalo’s head, there’s no desire to leave Juve, where he is much loved by the fans, just as he loves the Bianconeri, their shirt and their fans.”
