He is the third most expensive player in the history of football. How far can Juventus go in the Champions League this season with his help?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Deal confirmed according to BBC, unbelievable amount of money.
Has it been confirmed Juventus are splitting the fee over the two years or is it just speculation?
He is perhaps Argentina's biggest bottler in recent history. Despite, looking very good in Seria A, I have not been that impressed with his performance to say that he is worth that evaluation.
Still a quality player but at 29, it clearly looks like they are gunning for the CL as they won't recoup anywhere near that if he ever moves on again.
I hope this means what we all want it to mean.
Champions league final, and Higuain will bottle it for them
Juve don't have this kind of money to burn.
Nowhere near worth that sort of fee.
That's an awful lot of money for a player who has, maybe, 3 more peak years before gradually declining.
Makes Bale/Pogba look cheap, tbf.
They will shortly
he is 28
Ah, the benefits of having a late birthday. Still, i'm a bit surprised they would take a risk like this. Must be really confident of what they need.
He'll probably do very well at Juve given he's adapted excellently to the league, but he's just nowhere near the other players who cost around the same fee. He's more expensive than Suarez and isn't just a lesser player but multiple tiers inferior.
Ibrahimovic would have been a much better signing.
it's a piss load of money, but it's far far from a risk. They will take the piss out of the league. I just don't think it's enough to win the CL
So much money for a 29 year old who has a reputation of choking when it matters

Utterly ridiculous.
90 Million Euros and around 240K pounds per week, not sure he is the player who can win them CL and they don't even have to try to win Serie A.
Announce Pogba
Wooooo. Biggest sign yet that Pogba is coming.
Juventus may well have been able to afford him anyway, but there is no chance they would actually pay that if they didn't have an anstronincal amount of cash coming their way.

I don't understand the cafe's fascination with rounding up player ages.
This also probably rules out any slight possibility of a Morata plus cash deal for you know who.
How could anybody let this happen?
What have you done Juve?

It is just something people do on here to emphasise a point/argument. If the point were a different point, it could just as easily be that not only is Higuain 28, but he 'was 27 a few months back' or whatever.
Guys he's 28 not 29
I guess I'm the only one that thinks it's a very good signing for Juventus...
What's the official fee?
90m euros.
That is an absolutely ridiculous fee. No wonder they're demanding triple digit number of millions for Pogba, splashing cash around like this.
Juventus are also known for bottling finals, so he should be a good fit there.So much money for a 29 year old who has a reputation of choking when it matters
To be fair, Higuain is horrendously underrated. Outside of Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez and Lewandowski, he is the best goalscorer in the game these days. 227 career goals in 451 games tells its own story.
wow that's absolutely ridiculous.
But probably the more ridiculous thing about it - given what fees are cited around these days is that probably you can't get any better forward for less.
Can see him doing well in the league but feck all in the CL which ultimately is what's most important to Juve. Strange transfer.
What is this? United's twitter account?
The cnut is a Juventus player now. Announce Pogba!
The final where he'll miss a sitter or two before they lose.
Outstanding season last season for Napoli. Juve made a crucial signing in Tevez a few years back which they desperately needed at the time and I don't think this one is too far from that. It was clear as daylight that the one area they needed a big signing in was the striking department.
It might be a lot of money but he should do fantastic in the league and I think in a team like Juventus he'll be very good in Europe. They needed one or two big signings to try to help take them that one extra step towards the CL, we'll see if Higuian can pull it off. Very good signing IMO.
