Gonzalo Higuain admits he's 'relaxed' about what the atmosphere will be like on his return to Naples.

The striker also affirmed that his Juventus side could not afford any more mistakes, but also believes that people are too quick to criticise them.

There have been many rumours that his former side Real Madrid are interested in teammate Paulo Dybala, what does Higuain think about this?

"Paulo is a great player, and I always want to have great players at my side," the 29-year-old continued in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I do not know if the rumours about the interest of Real Madrid are true, and in any case the decision whether to go would be his.

"The important thing is not to worry. I am happy to play with him, and there is still much to win together at Juve."

Higuain has played with both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. What can he reveal about the pair?

"Playing with others who are strong helps you to grow. I see Messi often with the national team.

"I have not heard from Cristiano after leaving Real, but we have a mutual respect."

Compatriot Diego Maradona has recently visited Naples. What atmosphere does Higuain expect on his return there?

"I send greetings and a hug to Maradona. The climate will be what they want it to be. I'm relaxed.

"My head is focused only on helping Juve to win as many titles as possible."
