Higuain’s agent to ask Napoli contract extension with lower release clause
However, the future of Higuain is linked with the result of the team. The 28-year-old would almost surely remain at the San Paolo should Napoli finish the season in second place, securing themselves a Champions League spot.
Higuain’s agent and brother Nicolas will meet Aurelio De Laurentiis to discuss the player’s contract renewal. Nicolas Higuain will reportedly ask Napoli’s owner to lower the player’s € 94 million release clause and modify some clauses regarding the player’s image rights.
De Laurentiis is ready to raise Higuain’s annual salary to € 7 million, ensuring the player to strengthen the team aiming to win the league in the next seasons.
