Ciro Immobile insists that while Napoli “will never leave my heart”, he “professionally understands” Gonzalo Higuain’s decision to join Juventus.
Higuain was seen to have committed a sin of Judas proportions by Napoli fans in the summer when he swapped the Partenopei for Juve, their Serie A arch-rivals, despite the former receiving an Italian-record fee for the striker.

“Klose? I’m happy that Miro is doing an internship with the DFB, he’s realised a dream. In Rome, he’s a legend. Who else could set world records for goals?” the Lazio forward and Naples native told Kicker.
“I need a little under 50 goals to surpass Klose for the number of League goals he scored for Lazio. It’s a child’s play.
“Napoli? They’ll never leave my heart: I wish Napoli the best every day, except when they play against my team.
“Higuain? He’s a player that has only a few years left. Sentimentally speaking, I understand the fans’ disappointment, but I also understand Gonzalo on a professional level.
“Juventus? I only had a year in their first team but played with Buffon and Del Piero: what an experience.
“Alex was my idol. He was at the end of his career when I started out. In the penalty area, the best of all, however, was Trezeguet. I watched him and remained speechless.”
