Higuain named in Juventus pre-season tour squad amid Roma transfer rumours

Juventus have included Gonzalo Higuain in their pre-season tour squad despite reports Roma have agreed on a deal to sign the striker on loan.

Higuain is back at Juve after leaving Chelsea, for whom he scored five Premier League goals during the second half of last season, opted not to extend his loan or trigger a purchase option.

The 31-year-old moved to Stamford Bridge on a temporary six-month deal in January, after spending the first half of the 2018-19 campaign on loan at Milan.
