“This Higuain affair is hurting me because he is going to a direct rival like Juventus, but we cannot blame the player either,” wrote Maradona on his official Facebook page.
“A player has a responsibility to himself and it is those fat cats of business that are grinning the most in this case. Nobody thinks of the fan.
“I'm tired of saying that today it seems to be more important to be a good businessman than a good president. This did not happen in my time.
“Too bad that FIFA continues to sleep.”
