Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina says the club has moved beyond the sale of Gonzalo Higuain.

The Argentine left for Juventus in a €94 million deal in the summer.

"The departure of Higuain? His sale has allowed us to take different players who have improved a team was already very good last year," said Reina.

"Although we have improved, it is clear that what happened with [Arkadiusz] Milik changes things.

"The loss of Pipita was an inevitable sacrifice. If someone comes and pays the clause, the club can do very little.

"Higuain made requests that were rejected and that was how it went.

"Now we must turn the page and look ahead with confidence in people that were already here and those who arrived, with or without Milik."
