Gonzalo Higuain “understands Napoli fans are angry” at his Juventus move, “but it was a fantastic step in my career.”

The striker was a hero during his time at the Stadio San Paolo, but activated the €90m release clause to join their Serie A rivals.

“I left Real Madrid because I needed to play consistently and so I signed for Napoli,” Pipita told Elite Sport.

“Napoli was a fantastic step in my career. I really enjoyed being with the team, the city and the fans. It gave me goosebumps to think Diego Maradona had played there and people were comparing me to him.”

Does he have a response after President Aurelio De Laurentiis called him a traitor?

“I have nothing more to add. I already said at the time what I thought and there’s no point going back on that. I am now facing my new step in Turin and that’s good.

“The Napoli fans were always good to me and I understand they are angry, but it was a personal decision. I send a big salute to all the Napoli supporters.”
