Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain is set to leave Italian side Napoli as he denies to extend contract, according to his agent.
The former Real Madrid striker has denied to sign a new deal at the Serie A side as eyes for a move.
Higuain who has been exceptional form since his move to Italian side from Real Madrid few years ago. He netted 36 goals in Serie A last season. The reports have revealed that his buyout clause in current contact is £72million.
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone is searching for a top striker and Marca reported that he could be planning to make a bid for Higuain.
Arsenal and Liverpool have also been linked with him in the past few years and both could reignite their interest by entering the race.
The 28-year-old still has two year left on his current contract, meaning if Napoli succeeded in keeping him then he would be going on a free transfer after two years.
His agent further cleared it that his client is super professional and will continue to give his best at Napoli but will not sign an extension.
Meanwhile on the other hand, the Argentine recently failed to lift the Copa America Cup after suffering a defeat from Chile in the final once again.
