Gonzalo Higuain has signed a five-year deal with Juventus for £75.3 million ($99 million), the third most-expensive transfer of all time , according to Sky Sports.
On top of the enormous fee, Juventus will also pay the 28-year-old £6.3 million ($8.3 million) a season.

The only transfer deals more expensive were Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, who cost £80 million ($105 million) and £86 million ($113 million) respectively . Both moved to Real Madrid.

As a striker, Higuain is goal machine. He scored 71 times in just 104 appearances at Napoli and another 30 times for the Argentina national side. He ended the 2015/16 season as the top scorer in Italy's Serie A league.

Before Napoli he also had a six-year stint at Real Madrid, where he scored 107 times.

The transfer is Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri's fifth signing this summer, after Miralem Pjanic, Dani Alves, Medhi Benatia, and Marko Pjaca.
