Former Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain could be set for a sensational move to Barcelona, according to reports in Spanish press.
Higuain left Madrid last summer to join Italian side Napoli and he has kept up his impressive performances, scoring 24 goals in 44 games under the guidance of Rafael Benitez.
Spanish daily Marca reported over the weekend that Higuain was close to agreeing terms with Barcelona, citing new boss Luis Enrique as a keen admirer of the Argentina international.
Catalan daily Mundo Deportivo then added that Higuain’s representatives had been in touch with Barca back in May and that the striker was an alternative to Sergio Aguero, whom Barca had attempted to sign.
Napoli have since taken to social media site Twitter to dismiss the reports but more reports on Monday have even stated that a fee of £35m has been agreed.
