| Gonzalo Higuain has scored 11 goals for Napoli this season |
GONZALO HIGUAIN will not be leaving Napoli, according to his agent.
The Argentina international has been in good form this season, scoring 11 goals in 15 games for Maurizio Sarri's side.
Higuain has been linked with moves to both Chelsea and Arsenal, however Nicolas Higuain - the 27-year-old's agent and brother - admitted even a club willing to match the striker’s £67m release clause would struggle to persuade him to leave.
"We're doing really well with Napoli," he told TuttoNapoli.net.
"I've been in Argentina for five months, I'm not travelling around the world trying to sell my brother.
"If tomorrow a club arrived and found an agreement with De Laurentiis it would be another matter and we would talk with him about it, but from our part that intention isn't there.
"We aren't planning a future elsewhere."
A lack of Champions League football and genuine Serie A title challenge has fuelled speculation regarding Higuain's future, but Nicolas believes the current side is closer than ever to a major trophy.
"Gonzalo has had a dream of winning something big with this team from the day he first set foot in Naples," he added.
"This year, we are confident: the team is doing well, they play with more intensity, they're more organised.
"There is a special feeling [with Sarri]. Gonzalo grew up as a footballer and a person as the world's biggest club, surrounded by champions. Now he is reaching maturity.”
