Higuain will see out Juventus contract and could leave in 2021, says player's father

Gonzalo Higuain’s father says the striker will stay at Juventus until at least the end of his current contract in 2021, dismissing rumours linking him with a move away as ‘not true’.

A favourite of Maurizio Sarri’s following their time together at Napoli, Higuain hasn’t struggled for first-team action this season but only has eight goals from his 34 appearances.

Having returned home to Argentina during coronavirus lockdown, some reports had suggested he would stay there in order to force through a return to River Plate, the club he left for Real Madrid in 2007.
