Gonzalo Higuain said he joined Juventus from Napoli in pursuit of happiness (the ‘heart-touching’ story that can inspire a sequel to Will Smith’s movie) and not for monetary reasons. He earns €150,000 every week by the way. He was jeered on his first return to the Stadio San Paolo at the weekend when Juventus played against his former side.
“Sports reporters constantly talk about money, but I don’t understand this.
“Wages are high, of course, but I don’t think any footballer purely thinks of the money.
“When you change clubs, you do it because you want to feel good in yourself — to be happy. I took my risks but I do not regret my decision.
“People had told me it [Turin] was beautiful and quiet, and now I can confirm this is true.
“I’m delighted with the decision I took because I’ve reached a certain level of serenity on and off the football field, and this is what I was looking for.
“Both on a work and personal level, I feel I’ve made the perfect choice.”
Higuain joined Juventus from Napoli in the summer for a Serie A record fee of €90 million, with fans of his former club not happy with his departure.
