Gonzalo Higuain rejects Napoli contract extension

Gonzalo Higuain's agent says that the striker has rejected the offer of a one-year contract extension from Napoli.

The agent and brother of Gonzalo Higuain has confirmed that the Argentine has turned down Napoli's offer of a new contract.

The 27-year-old has spent the past two seasons at the Azzurri following his move from Real Madrid in July 2013.

However, he has been strongly linked with a move away from the club this summer and his agent Nicolas Higuain has revealed that talks over a new deal have broken down.

"We had a meeting with the president (Aurelio De Laurentiis) in Venice 10 days ago," Higuain told Radio Crc. "We talked about everything. He offered a one-year contract extension, however, in my opinion - and in our opinion - we'll continue with the original contract, expiring in 2018.

"I don't think we'll accept the president's offer, because the contract isn't that different to the one we signed before, so for us it's not a real offer. We're calm and happy to continue with the current conditions.

"At the moment, we have faith, Gonzalo will stay at Napoli, in a team which is 100% focused and can win something. It seems strange, but the big clubs have not contacted me, nor have I spoken with anyone."

Higuain has scored 53 goals in 102 games for Napoli.
