Chelsea will only sign this World class striker on one condition – ESPN

Chelsea won’t secure the signature of striker Gonzalo Higuain unless Italian tactician Massimiliano Allegri takes over at Stamford Bridge, ESPN FC football pundit Alejandro Moreno has suggested.

Chelsea seek managerial replacement
The West London club are believed to be in the transfer market for a new tactician despite manager Antonio Conte still in charge as manager at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues are believed to be reluctant to hand the former Italy boss a huge payout with little over 1 year remaining on his deal.

The head coach brought in Spain international striker Alvaro Morata in a reported £60million transfer deal from Real Madrid back in the 2017 summer window.

Attacking reinforcement required
However, the former Juventus striker struggled for consistency and was a major disappointment in his debut campaign at the West London club.

Argentina international forward Gonzalo Higuain has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea after he scored 16 goals in the Serie A last season.

ESPN FC football pundit Moreno does not feel the Blues will sign the former Real Madrid striker unless the Juventus boss that recently confirmed that he turned down the Real Madrid job becomes the new Chelsea manager.

We’ll wait and see whether the South American would be ready to miss out on UEFA Champions League football next term by joining Chelsea.
