Gonzalo Higuain joined Juventus in 2016.

Juventus has terminated the contract of Gonzalo Higuain by mutual consent, the Serie A champion has confirmed, with the Argentine forward closing in on a switch to David Beckham’s Major League Soccer (MLS) side Inter Miami.

Former Real Madrid striker Higuain, who joined Juventus in 2016 after a three-year stint with Napoli, scored 66 goals in 149 games in all competitions for the league champion.

‘Many battles together’

“There were many battles together, many goals scored, with many often decisive. Now the paths of Higuain and Juventus go their separate ways,” Juventus said in a statement.
