Atletico Madrid chief Berta breaks silence over Higuain talk

Atletico Madrid sports chief Andrea Berta has played down talk of a bid for Napoli star Gonzalo Higuain.

It's been suggested in Italy that Atletico are willing to offer €60 million plus Matias Kranevitter for the Argentine.

Berta stated on Radio Crc: "Napoli can be calm, Higuain won't be coming to Atletico."

Gazzetta dello Sport, meanwhile, says Napoli are offering the striker a deal to 2020 worth €7.5 million-a-year.

This would make Higuain the highest paid player in Napoli's history.
