Argentina camp expect Higuain to stay with Napoli

Argentina assistant coach Luigi Liberti expects Gonzalo Higuain to stay with Napoli.

The striker is being linked with Barcelona while he's away for the World Cup.

"Higuain is hungry and he is rediscovering his best condition, so I think the next game could belong to him," Liberti said.

"I think it's more possible that he will stay at Napoli rather than go somewhere else. When players play in the World Cup their attention is always focused on this competition.

"I understand that the Napoli fans want Higuain to say 'I have a contract with Napoli and I am staying,' but players always use half-phrases that are left open to interpretation."
