Chelsea have struggled throughout the season for goals and Sarri believes Higuain to be the cure.

According to various reports, Juventus, Chelsea and Higuain have practically agreed a deal. However the Rossoneri can not approve a transfer unless Leonardo finds a proper substitute. The Brazilian sporting director sees Krzysztof Piatek as the ideal candidate.

The Poland international also fits the profile of players Ivan Gazidis is searching for the new project of AC Milan. The Rossoneri have contacted Genoa and are in advanced negotiations  according to Sky Sport.

Genoa have opened up to Piatek’s January sale even though they would prefer to rather discuss a move for summer. Genoa value the player at least 40 million euros and both clubs are discussing the right formula of the operation. While AC Milan have proposed a similar loan deal to the one for Higuain, Genoa want concrete guarantees that AC Milan will sign Krzysztof permanently at the end of the season.
