Higuain 'Could Decide Against' Contract Extension

Wednesday, Feb. 24

"Gazzetta dello Sport reports today that there is no renewal [of Higuain's contract] on the horizon, as the arrival of Higuainโ€™s father Jorge in Naples last weekend hasnโ€™t led to a meeting with president Aurelio De Laurentiis to discuss a new deal," revealed Football Italia.

The report relays the "mechanical" way Higuain'sย representativesย responded to talk of a new deal, withย PSG and Chelseaย both rumoured to be interested in the 28-year-old: "Gonzalo is focused on the Scudetto, itโ€™s not the time to talk about a contract."

Arsenal have also long been linked with Higuain, as noted by James Whaling of the Mirror, and would likely jump at the chance to sign him.

His current contract with Napoli runs until 2018, but theย Partenopei would clearly like to tie him to an extended deal.

Higuain is currently enjoying one of the best seasons of his career and has scored 24 times in 26 matches in Serie A, per WhoScored.com.

Napoli are still very much in with a chance of winning the Scudetto as they sit just a point behind leaders Juventus.

But Higuain has unsurprisingly drawn interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe and could likely be tempted by theย financialย rewards offered by the likes of PSG and Chelsea.

He also undoubtedly has ambitions of winning the UEFA Champions League, which are more likely to be fulfilled at the Parc des Princes than at the San Paolo.

Napoli will still be able to demand aย significantย fee for Higuainโ€”they slapped aย โ‚ฌ94.7 million (ยฃ67 million) price tag on him last summerโ€”but they will be loath to sell him for any price given his importance to the side. ย ย
