The 32-year-old Argentinian agreed to leave Juventus after terminating his contract. It cost the Italian team £2.3 million. Higuain was not in the plans of the new coach of the team, Andrea Pirlo, so he chose the MLS (his brother Federico Higuain plays for DC United) as his new destination.

According to various international media, the former Argentine National Team player will receive a base salary of $7 million. In this way, he will go on to earn more than his current boss, David Beckham, did. According to Forbes, the former English player earned $6.5 million during his five seasons. Higuain's contract will be for two and a half years and he will be with Inter Miami until the end of the 2022 season.

According to the MLS Players Association, Zlatan Ibrahimovic earned $ 7.2 million in 2019, with Higuain being the second-highest MLS payment in its history. Behind him are Toronto's Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore with earnings of $ 6 and $ 4.9 million respectively.

Gonzalo Higuain hopes to revive an Inter Miami that has only 2 wins in 11 games played in the 2020 MLS season. They also only scored 9 goals, being one of the worst records. Undoubtedly the Argentine is the salvation of a team that dreams of qualifying for the playoffs.
