In fact, as learned by Calciomercato.com, the Blues have already initiated contacts with the Bianconeri to try and lower the buy-out option. The deal in place has a buy-out option set at €36m, as well as a possibility to extend the loan for another season by paying €18m. 

 

However, none of these alternatives are good enough for Chelsea, who aren't willing to go any higher than €30m when it comes to redeeming the player. Juventus, on the other hand, are not willing to go any lower as that would mean a loss on Higuain, as the initial fee was already the minimum.
