The former Real Madrid striker has been linked with a move away from Napoli, but the Serie A side have slapped a phenomenal pricetag on him

Gonzalo Higuain will not be sold for any less than his €94.7 million clause, according to Napoli's head of communications.

The striker, 27, has been heavily linked with a move away from the Stadio San Paolo this summer following the departure of coach Rafa Benitez and their failure to secure Champions League fl.

However, Partenopei PR chief Nicolas Lombardo informed the official radio station of the club that there is no chance that the Argentina international is leaving the Serie A side unless his clause is struck.

"Napoli are keen to make an official clarification based on some newspapers' claims in articles about the potential transfer of Higuain," Radio Kiss Kiss stated.

"The club stresses that the Argentine has an existing contract clause of €94,736,000. No bids below that figure will be accepted, those who want the player will have to match that valuation."

Manchester City, AC Milan, Arsenal and Liverpool are among the clubs to have been rumoured to be interested in the Argentine, who has spent two seasons in Italy since moving from Real Madrid for €40m.

Whether said clubs will have to fork out the massive fee or if Napoli are trying to push for a higher price should they be pressured into telling remains to be seen.

Don't think 20m (though it's 15m + bonuses that is being spoken about) is quite as outlandish as some are suggesting.

I'd pay more for Bertolacci than I would for Saponara, and it's ~13m being spoken about for him.

And Remember that Roma just bought Bertolacci's other half from Genoa for 8.5m.

Shouldn't they improve their team instead of buying Poli v2?

Bertolacci is quite different to Poli.

Poli is far more along the lines of someone like Montolivo.

Bertolacci is more like a poor man's Pjanic.
My point is that instead of mediocre players that they enough already have, they should go for quality that could improve them.

But after every decent player rejects them, I guess they have no choice.

I think Bertolacci does improve them.

If they have the cash to sign a couple of 'top' players as well I don't see the harm.

Seems odd that they aren't being linked with any centre-halves given the problems they've had in that position.

Bertolacci-Poli-Monto-Bonaventura, this 4 is probably their starting line up and that's easily a second class line up. Just not good enough.

Roma bought Nainggolan's 2nd half for €9m :confused: wtf! I thought it was going to be a lot more, some people were saying €20m for the second half.
I think Ibarbo is somehow included in the deal too, plus Cagliari is supposed to get huge bonuses if Roma reaches the CL next year. It's probably around 15-18mln deal actually.

Are they really going to buy Ibarbo? I don't think they have an obligation, but if they do then the discount on Nainggolan would make sense. €15m for Ibarbo and €18m for Nainggolan seems disproportionate compensation in context of their playing abilities.

Also regarding the bonuses, I looked through some of Roma's other transfer press releases and they mention variables when bonuses are involved, no mention of variables or bonus in the official statement of Nainggolan's transfer pr, so maybe there aren't any variables in the Nainggolan transfer.
