Gonzalo Higuain has said he was “kicked out” of Juventus this summer as a result of the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.
Juve broke their transfer record to sign Cristiano Ronaldo for €100million and Higuain left to join AC Milan soon after.
According to the Argentina striker, the issues began back in May when he was left out of the starting line-up for the Coppa Italia final.
“Inside me, I had the feeling something had something was broken that day. Then they signed Ronaldo.
“It wasn’t my decision to leave. I gave everything for Juve. I won many trophies then, after Cristiano arrived, the club wanted to make a jump in quality and they told me that I couldn’t stay and they were trying to find a solution,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Higuain, in two seasons with the club, won two Serie A and Coppa Italia doubles.
But despite being made to leave, he said he does not bear any ill feeling for the club.
