Juventus who paid the €90m release clause to sign Higuain from Napoli in 2016, will lose approximately €18.3 along side the striker who had ensured unsuccessful loans at AC Milan and Chelsea before returning to Turin last season. 

Thank you for everything, Pipita! 👏

The 32-year-old who was told by Juve’s new coach Andrea Pirlo he was no longer part of the nine-time Serie A champions’ plans had to look elsewhere and Inter Miami had their arms wide open, so he embraced them.

🗣 "I want to thank Inter Miami for the effort it has made to sign me. I’m really happy to be here and that it’s official."#LaFamiliaIMCF, our No. 9 is finally here.

But, considering his somewhat recent decline in performance, could David Beckham be making a mistake by signing him?
