Higuain accused of betrayal

(ANSA) - Naples, July 25 - Naples Mayor Luigi de Magistris on Monday joined many Napoli fans in accusing Gonzalo Higuain of betrayal, with the Argentina forward set to join Italian champions Juventus.
    The Turin giants are reportedly set to use a buy-out clause of over 90 million euros in Higuain's contract with Napoli to land the forward.
    The 28-year-old is reportedly set to earn an annual salary of 7.5 million euros.
    "It a serious betrayal of those who, like me, continue to follow football with passion," de Magistris said. Former Napoli and Argentina great Diego Maradona also expressed his dismay at the move.
    "This Higuain affair is hurting me because he is going to a direct rival like Juventus," Maradona said on his Facebook page. "But we cannot blame the player either. A player has a responsibility to himself and it is those fat cats of business that are grinning the most in this case. "Nobody thinks of the fan. I'm tired of saying that today it seems to be more important to be a good businessman than a good president".
