New Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo has revealed which player he has told can leave the Turin club.
The 41-year-old coach had his first press conference since Juve's return to training on Monday, and spoke about a variety of topics.
Pirlo, who took over from the sacked Maurizio Sarri, confirmed that he spoke with Gonzalo Higuain and together with the player decided that it is best that the two parties part ways.
"I've spoken to Gonzalo. He's a world-class player but we've decided it's time for us to go our separate ways," he said, as quoted by The Athletic journalist James Horncastle.
"All things come to an end. We looked each other in the eyes and decided this was the decision to take."
Higuain joined Juventus from Napoli for a fee of €90 million (R1.78 billion) in 2016, but will now reportedly have his contract terminated by the Italian giants.
"El Pipita" scored 66 goals and assisted another 16 strikes in 149 appearances for the Bianconeri.
