However, AC Milan boss Grennaro Gattuso hinted that Higuain will stay at the Italian giants, claiming the striker had never asked to leave.
Gattuso Tweeted: “There are lots of rumors concerning @G_Higuain but he’s relaxed, training well with his teammates and working hard.

[the_ad id=”164″]Will Higuain be a good buy for us?
Higuain is a top striker that will score goals if he is happy and settled, but he is not the long-term answer to our problems if reports are true as he is coming to the back-end of his career, and his goal-scoring numbers will eventually drop.
However, he is a real superstar of the game and the kind of striker that will make an immediate impact on the side if he does actually sign for the club.
