Napoli stand firm on £67m-rated Gonzalo Higuain

Napoli release a statement reiterating that striker Gonzalo Higuain's reported suitors will need to activate his £67m release clause in order to sign him.

Napoli have reiterated that in-demand striker Gonzalo Higuain will not leave the club for anything less than his £67m buyout clause.

The 27-year-old has been heavily linked with a summer switch to Chelsea after the Partenopei failed to achieve Champions League qualification last season.

Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis has been adamant that negotiations will not take place until his clause his met, and the Italian side released a statement reiterating their stance on the Argentine.

"Napoli are keen to make an official clarification based on some newspapers' claims in articles about the potential transfer of Higuain," Radio Kiss Kiss stated.

"The club stresses that the Argentine has an existing contract clause of €94,736,000.

"No bids below that figure will be accepted, those who want the player will have to match that valuation."

Higuain, whose contract expires in 2018, netted 27 goals in all competitions last term.
