Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has said that he is open to extending Gonzalo Higuain’s stay at Stamford Bridge, but admits that the Argentine’s situation is unclear.

Higuain is on loan from Serie A side Juventus, but has not been able to give Chelsea fans what they need in terms of goals.

He has scored just 3 goals in 8 Premier League appearances for the Blues since his move in January.

Sarri has said that any extension to Higuain’s stay is dependent on parent club Juventus.

When asked if he wants to keep Higuain, he said: “Yes of course, but it depends on the club, it depends on Juventus. It’s not clear the situation at the moment.”

During the first half of the 2018/19 season, Higuain was on loan at Serie A side AC Milan.

Given that he was signed to score goals, it remains to be seen how he will contribute to Chelsea’s top-four chase with the Blues currently fifth in the Premier League.

The former Napoli star recently announced his retirement from the Argentine senior national football team.
