Juventus and Chelsea have agreed terms on a complex loan with option to extend – which could become an obligation – for Gonzalo Higuain, claim Sky Sport Italia.
The Stamford Bridge side will sign Higuain on a six-month loan until June, but with obligation of a further one-season loan dependent on certain targets achieved by both the player and the team.
These details were outlined by Sky Sport Italia transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio.
This deal was struck after the Supercoppa victory, which saw Juventus beat Milan 1-0 in Jeddah.
Higuain was on the bench for most of the game, officially due to ‘fever’, but came on for the final 20 minutes.
Milan signed Higuain on loan for one season at a cost of €18m with option to buy for a further €36m.
There were also reports from CalcioNews24.com that Higuain's brother Nicolas is already in London working out personal terms.

Are you Chelsea fans confident he will make a difference? He can barely save Milan?

Smart deal. Loan with possibility to sign under agreed conditions. The Chelsea management made a good deal which will not tie them down to the player unless certain conditions are made which usually are performance based. Personally I think that Higuain regardless of his age is a better striker than what Chelsea has at the moment. And the fact that they're not signing him to a long term contract for now takes the burden off Chelsea in an event that the player fails to perform. Thumbs up to Chelsea.

Chelsea sometime go mad or what? Weren't there young ad agile skillfully better talented players to buy???...common Sarri, you don't compete in a very competitive and tight league with Man City and Liverpool and the newfound Man Utd with Higuain...? What can he do beside Sane, Sterling, Sala, Mané...Rashford etc...A very bad deal!! my take.

Well I would Say It's Better To Have Something Than Nothing. At least He's Better Than Giroud And Morata Combined.
