Chelsea’s move for Gonzalo Higuain has been plunged into doubt after a disagreement between Maurizio Sarri and Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia, according to a report on the Mirror.
The initial report from CalcioMercato states that tensions between Sarri and Granovskaia have risen regarding Higuain, with the manager desperate to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
However, Granovskaia is not keen on paying €50m for the Argentine striker and she has now put the potential transfer on hold.
Sarri and Higuain combined brilliantly during their time together in the Serie A with Napoli and Sarri wants to work with the forward again.
Chelsea are on the lookout for a striker in the January transfer window, with many pundits and fans believing that they are lacking a clinical finisher in their squad.
The 31-year-old is on a loan deal at AC Milan, who have the option to make his move permanent at the end of the season for €36m.
Milan are keen to keep Higuain till the end of the season but if Chelsea offers a handsome amount of money, the Juventus may be inclined to letting him move to London.
