Gonzalo Higuain agrees to AC Milan switch
With Cristiano Ronaldo arriving, there is no room at the inn for the Argentina striker
Gonzalo Higuain will wear red and white. The forward, after Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at Juventus, will be loaned to AC Milan. The key meeting to arrange the deal happened on Tuesday. The Juve board informed Nicolas Higuain, brother and agent of 'Pipa' that he was not needed this season under Massimiliano Allegri.
So Nicolas and Leonardo, Milan's sporting director, agreed he should move on loan there, per Gazzetta Dello Sport. Higuain will move for 18m euros on loan with an option to buy for another 36m. The deal is almost a 'definitive' purchase but it has been put together creatively to satisfy UEFA after Milan's trouble with FFP.
Meanwhile, veteran defender Leonardo Bonucci is poised to return to the Old Lady one year after leaving for Milan. In exchange the Rossoneri will get Mattia Caldara on loan, whom Juve signed in 2017 from Atalanta.
