Higuain has been linked to a number of clubs this summer, including Arsenal, after scoring 36 goals in 35 games in the Italian top flight last season.
Juventus are now at the front of the queue to sign him, but are reluctant to meet his €94m release clause and are instead ready to offer players in exchange to bring the price down. The most likely candidate to be swapped is midfielder Roberto Pereyra, but promising centre-back Daniele Rugani could also be on the table.
