Italian Serie A: Juventus breaks the bank for Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain.



Juventus have completed the signing of Serie A highest goalscorer last season Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli after activating his €90 million release clause.

The Italian champions confirmed that Higuain signed a five-year contract, tying him with the Turin giants till 2021.

The deal which was struck on tuesday is said to be the most expensive transfer in the history of Italian football.

The 28-year old broke Gunnar Nordahl's 66-year old Serie A goal-scoring record on the final day of last season by scoring a hat trick to give 36 goals in 35 matches.

With all the signings made by Juventus this off-season, expect them to win their sixth consecutive Serie A title and challenge strongly for the Champions League this season.
