Napoli's head of communications, Nicola Lombardo, has played down speculation over the future of star forward Gonzalo Higuain after strong links to Juventus and Arsenal.
“Gonzalo never said he wanted to leave,” Lombardo said at a question-and-answer session with supporters at the club’s training base, per Chris Myson of Goal. “Juve have never asked for him and [president] Aurelio De Laurentiis does not want to sell him. ... But he will be here in Dimaro to start pre-season on July 25.”
As noted by Myson, Higuain has been the subject of a lot of speculation, with the Gunners said to be keen to bring him to the Emirates Stadium.
