Former Argentina striker Hernan Crespo believes new Juventus signing Gonzalo Higuaín is worth more than what Manchester United paid for Paul Pogba.

Both clubs smashed their respective transfer records in order to secure the two players over the summer transfer window.

“Nobody gives you anything for free, especially not in football,” Crespo told newspaper La Nacion, as reported by Football Italia.

“If Juventus paid so much to get Higuain from Napoli, it means he’s worth that money.

“In my view, it is logical to pay €90m for a striker who scored 36 goals in a single season. It’s far more logical than Manchester United paying €110m for Pogba.

“I say that with all due respect for the Frenchman, who is a great midfielder.”

The former Napoli man was in superb form throughout 2015-16, on his way to breaking the Serie A’s all-time record for most goals in a season.

Higuaín finished with 36 in 35 games, an achievement which will surely be difficult to beat. He has already opened his Bianconeri account, scoring in the opening weekend 2-1 win over Fiorentina.
