Chelsea are not planning to extend Gonzalo Higuain's loan and will send him back to Juventus after the Europa League final, according to Mail.
Higuain has scored only five goals in 21 appearances since arriving in January on a six-month deal.
There is an option to extend the loan for another season for £15.7million or buy him outright for £31.6m.
Juventus do not want Higuain back because he has two years to run on a lucrative contract, but his goal return has been poor in the Premier League and his form disappointing.
At 31, he is not expected to improve dramatically and Chelsea do not expect to take up either option despite the prospect of a FIFA transfer ban. Maurizio Sarri, having worked successfully with Higuain at Napoli, identified him as a centre forward who could make his new team click.
Chelsea devoted great time and effort to disentangle him from his existing loan deal at AC Milan in January. But Higuain has not impressed - missing chances and struggling to perform at the tempo required in English football.

Juventus bought him old and now he’s older and they can’t sell him or find him a new club for him . The same Juventus thinking of Alex another flop . What the hell is wrong with Juventus and old men ? Or it’s probably Allegri is idea 💡 because since he took over from conte , He has sold all the young and great players and buying up old ones . Now if he stay , he’s gonna sell Dybala, cancelo etc and probably send Kean one lone and buy up old players like Alex etc . Remember he already renewed useless Mandzukic is contract. Mandzukic haven’t scored a goal in 2019 . Tell me what kinda stupid coach sell all his young players? It’s only dumbass coach like Allegri that does that . Juventus should fire this fool , so the club can move on and build up for future and next season. Keeping Allegri will be the biggest mistake ever and may also be the beginning of the end for juventus. Hope you guys haven’t forgotten that it was the same Allegri that killed AC Milan
