Gonzalo Higuain’s father has defended his son, insisting he did nothing wrong by joining Juventus from Napoli.
There has been an ugly fall-out from the Argentine’s move to Turin, with Partenopei President Aurelio De Laurentiis branding him a traitor and Higuain responding by saying the film producer was a key factor in his decision to leave.
“Gonzalo left Napoli because his relationship with the President had broken down,” Jorge Higuain told El Exprimidor.

“Gonzalo left Napoli because his relationship with the President had broken down,” Jorge Higuain told El Exprimidor.
“He didn’t do anything bad, because in the contract there was the possibility of joining another team.”
Higuain Senior also expressed his hope that the Napoli fans will remember his son’s contribution to their club.
“When he goes back to San Paolo he will have to live with the insults and boos, something that happens in football.
“I hope it doesn’t happen, because he was the leader of the team and got Napoli back in the Champions League.”
