AC Milan look to have beaten Chelsea to the signature of Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain after a deal worth up to €55m (£49m) has reportedly been proposed between the two Serie A clubs, with personal terms a last potential stumbling block.
According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, a two-hour meeting between Nicolas Higuain, brother and agent of the player, and Juventus officials saw Milan's offer of a €20m loan followed by a €35m purchase option laid on the table.
Di Marzio notes that the 'matter is clear between the sides', suggesting that both Milan and Juve find the €55m package agreeable, but equally explains that the Higuain camp is still yet to accept the deal.
