Higuain was highly-linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium but according to Sky Italia journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Argentine could be headed to Turin to link up with the Old Lady for 78 million pounds.

Juve are reportedly planning to recover the money by selling Pogba to either Manchester United or Real Madrid, in a move that could amount to 100 million pounds. This would become the most expensive transfer in the history of world football. Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale currently holds the record of the most expensive signing in the world thanks to his 85 million-pound move from Tottenham Hotspur to the Santiago Bernabeu.
