"Juventus" general director Beppe Marotta announced that the club is pulling out of the battle for Madrid "Real" forward Gonzalo Higuain. According to the manager, the "Serie A" champions do not intend to actively compete for the Argentine with London's "Arsenal" team. "Many players choose 'Juventus' themselves, and we still have the whole summer ahead of us. G. Higuain, S. Jovetičius or C. Tevez? They are all great footballers and we don't want to be fascinated by just one," Marotta said. "We have already reached an agreement with the European and world champion Fernando Llorente and we will look for a player who suits our winning team," the manager assured.
