Morata looked set for a Stamford Bridge exit after a disappointing 2017\/18 season<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

\n

Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta has claimed the club has not received any official offers for Gonzalo Higuain.<\/p>\n

Higuain, who is valued at \u00a354million by Juve, has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea<\/a> as Maurizio Sarri looks to find a frontman to replace the out-of-favour Alvaro Morata.<\/p>\n

\"Higuain<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p><\/div>

\n\t\tHiguain is understood to prefer a move to AC Milan if he leaves Juve\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Morata moved to the London side from Real Madrid last summer for \u00a358million, but has struggled to adapt to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

It is believed the Spaniard wants a return to Serie A<\/a> after a successful two seasons at Juventus between 2014-16.<\/p>\n

However, due to the recent arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at Juve, the Serie A giants are reportedly not going to pursue the Spaniard.<\/p>\n

AC Milan are interested<\/a> but are struggling to afford the \u00a358m fee Chelsea want, plus his wages.<\/p>\n

\"Morata<\/p>\n

The same goes for Higuain, who is available from Juventus and is understood to prefer a switch to the San Siro rather than Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Higuain, 30, is a player Sarri would like to bring in but the Blues\u2019 hierarchy appear reluctant to fork out the money for an ageing forward.<\/p>\n

On Higuain\u2019s future, Marotta said:\u00a0 \u201cMilan or Chelsea? No official offers have arrived. I feel that the arrival of Ronaldo has created an attack of good quality but also of quantity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will evaluate Higuain\u2019s future with those affected. He\u2019s an important player for us but we\u2019re talking to him and trying to decide what\u2019s the best solution for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the possibility of signing either Higuain or Morata, AC Milan\u2019s new general manager Leonardo said:\u00a0\u201cHiguain or Morata? I don\u2019t think it will be possible to make big signings in this transfer window.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuge wages are going to affect us, so it will be more difficult to get these big names.\u201d<\/p>\n
