Exclusive: Chelsea in talks for Juventus duo, latest updates
The Old Lady is open to listen to offers for both players but, at least for the moment, there are no agreements between the two parties. The price-tag of Gonzalo Higuain is € 55/60 million and the Argentinean wants a five-year deal worth € 7.5 million-a-year, the same salary he has at Juventus.
​Juventus are also negotiating with the player as Higuain could require a severance pay. Talks between all the parties are ongoing and for now there is a gap of € 10 million between Juventus’ request and Chelsea’s offer for Higuain.
As for Rugani, Juventus seek to cash in a fee above € 40 million. Yet again, Chelsea have already begun talks with the player’s entourage with Rugani who is a long time target of the new Chelsea boss.
