Gonzalo Higuain, who moved to Juventus last summer for €90 million, is the most expensive South American footballer in history. He began his professional career at Argentine club River Plate after progressing through the club’s youth ranks.
In December 2016, Spanish giants Real Madrid secured his signature and he spent six years of his career at the Santiago Bernabeu scoring 122 goals and providing 56 assists in 264 appearances for the club where he won three La Liga titles and a Copa Del Rey.
He then moved to Napoli and won the Coppa Italia in his first season with the club. The 2015-16 season saw him setting a new record for scoring the most goals in a single Serie A season as he found the back of the net 36 times.
The 28-year-old who is also a French citizen, chose to play for Argentina and has scored 31 goals in 65 appearances. His ruthlessness in front of goal and ability to hold up the ball makes him one of the best strikers in Europe.
