Gonzalo Higuain s agent has revealed the striker has rejected the offer of a new contract from Napoli.
The Argentina international who signed for the Serie A club from Real Madrid in 2013 still has three years left to run on his current deal.
Nicolas Higuain, the player s brother and agent, confirmed that a one-year extension on similar terms had been turned down, with the player happy to continue with the current conditions .
We had a meeting with the president [Aurelio De Laurentiis] in Venice 10 days ago, he told Radio CRC.
We talked about everything. He offered a one-year contract extension, however, in my opinion and in our opinion we ll continue with the original contract, expiring in 2018.
I don t think we ll accept the president s offer, because the contract isn t that different to the one we signed before, so for us it s not a real offer. We re calm and happy to continue with the current conditions.
The striker has been linked with a move away from Napoli this off-season, though his sibling insisted no big clubs had contacted him to discuss any potential transfer.
It seems strange, but the big clubs have not contacted me, nor have I spoken with anyone, Nicolas Higuain added.
At the moment we have faith Gonzalo will stay at Napoli, in a team which is 100 per cent focused and can win something.
