The brother of Gonzalo Higuain has ruled out a return to Chelsea.

Higuain's agent and brother Nicolas has said the striker only wants to play for Juventus in Italy as he returns from a loan spell at Chelsea.

There had been rumours that the 31-year-old was set for a move to Roma, but Nicolas said he wishes to honour his contract at Juve.

Nicolas said: “His performances at Juve have been good and playing for another team in Italy isn't a workable solution.

“I don't want to disrespect anyone, but if Gonzalo plays in Italy again then he only will for Juve, who own him."
