On-loan AC Milan striker Gonzalo Higuain has revealed that leaving Juventus was not his choice but he was forced out by the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Higuain joined Juventus for a then Serie A transfer record of €90M back in 2016 from Napoli, scoring 40 league goals in two seasons for The Bianconeri. With the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, Juventus opted to ship out Gonzalo Higuain on laon to AC Milan.’
Higuain revealed that he harbors no hard feeling for being pushed out of the club, “No, mine is a feeling of affection because they treated me very well; team-mates and supporters have given me huge affection. But I did not ask to leave. Basically, everyone says it, they kicked me out. At Milan, I immediately had a great love and so they convinced me.”
The Argentine striker noted that the arrival of Ronaldo contributed to him being shipped out on loan, “Maybe I knew something had broken, and then they took Ronaldo. The decision to leave was not mine. I gave everything for Juventus, I won several titles. After Cristiano arrived, the club wanted to make a qualitative leap and they told me that I could not stay and that they were trying to find a solution. The best solution was Milan.”
