Two loves that never really took off, those between Higuain and Juventus and Bonucci and Milan. And so, after only a year, the defender of the national team returns to Turin (who in Milan had even been invested with the rank of captain, as if to become a symbol of the club which he instead leaves after less than 12 months) and on the contrary leaves the the Piedmontese capital, right in the direction of AC Milan, the Argentine center forward. Higuain has made two championships in the black and white shirt, winning everything apart from the famous Champions League which his now former teammates will now go hunting with a certain Cristiano Ronaldo. Il Pipita left his mark above all in the first season and in any case never entirely in the European field: Cr7 will certainly do better and therefore there was no more room for a champion paid almost 100 million and who had been welcomed – snatching him from Naples – as one of the best in the world, with which to guarantee years of triumphs. Instead, Higuain will play three of the five years of the contract that bound him to Juve with Milan, which could also guarantee him a few more years to spread the salary of 7,5 million net per season, to which the attacker's entourage, initially unconvinced by the operation, he absolutely did not want to give up.
Higuain is therefore Elliott management's first real market coup with Leonardo director of the technical area: an operation that starts with an onerous loan of 18 million and a redemption (already secure) set at 36 million. Milan is under observation by UEFA for Fair Play and for this reason they have engineered the affair with this formula. In any case, the total is 54 million and for Juve, which in fact would have needed to offload Pipita anyway, it is a big sigh of relief in terms of avoided capital losses, after the 90 million spent just two years ago to bring Vinovo a player already close to 30 years old. The bianconeri in one fell swoop also find the defensive leader of the six consecutive championships (all except the last one, because Bonucci played for Milan) and as part of the maxi operation that really makes everyone happy, they give up the former Atalanta talent on which they had bet everything to rebuild the defense after Barzagli-Chiellini: Mattia Caldara will have been in Turin just passing through, his future is in the Rossoneri, together with Higuain who in black and white he didn't even have time to know. In fact, the Argentine has just returned from vacation after the mundial flop, and not even the time to do the first medical tests and say goodbye to his teammates (including Ronaldo) who had to pack his bags again for Milan.
