Crespo: 'Higuain worth more than Pogba'

By Football Italia staff

Hernan Crespo believes Juventus spending €90m for Gonzalo Higuain “was far more logical than Manchester United’s €110m for Paul Pogba.”

Transfer records were shattered this summer in Italy and the world with Juve buying and selling at huge prices.

“Nobody gives you anything for free, especially not in football,” Crespo told La Nacion newspaper.

“If Juventus paid so much to get Higuain from Napoli, it means he’s worth that money.

“In my view, it is logical to pay €90m for a striker who scored 36 goals in a single season. It’s far more logical than Manchester United paying €110m for Pogba.

“I say that with all due respect for the Frenchman, who is a great midfielder.”

Higuain broke the all-time Serie A record last season at Napoli, netting 36 goals in just 35 games.
