The 28-year-old was the top scorer in the Seria-A last season, and he netted 36 goals last season, but decided to leave Napoli to join Juventus to win the major honours at Turin.
Speaking to Club’s official website he said:
“I hope to repay the faith of the club’s directors and of course to demonstrate my value in the coming season with Juventus,” he said. “The efforts to bring me here were truly humbling and it is up to me to show my worth to my new fans.”

“I chose this team above all because they are an excellent side with a very exciting project,” he told a news conference on Thursday. “I’m humbled by the efforts made by the club to bring me here and I’m looking forward to a successful season.”
“The ambition shown over the summer was an important factor for me. Combined with the desire of the players already here, this was an offer I could not refuse,” he was quoted as saying on the club’s website (www.juventus.com).
“The depth of this squad is one of its greatest strengths and the competition for places all over the field is a massive advantage for us.”
“I spent three great years at Napoli and I can only thank them for their support, but this is a choice that I have made for personal reasons,” Higuain said.
“I can understand they are extremely disappointed and upset with me, but this is a choice that I have made and I am happy about it.”
