According to Marca, Chelsea would take on the remaining €9m for a six-month loan and option to buy for €36m.
There are some differences, though, and his brother Nicolas Higuain flew in to Madrid on Friday, preparing to head out this weekend to London.
It’s reported Chelsea’s option to buy for €36m will become obligatory if certain conditions are met, combining both individual and team results.
For example, Chelsea would have to purchase Higuain if they finished in the top three of the Premier League and Pipita scored at least one goal.
Another version is that the Argentine finds the net at least 15 times in the Premier League.
A third option would see Chelsea win the Europa League with Higuain scoring five competitive goals.
It’s all going to have to wait, because Milan won’t let Higuain leave until they have secured his replacement.
