'I chose to go to Milan for the perseverance with which they wanted me here. They also managed to convince me of the club`s development project.

I really appreciate their determination to attract me!', added the 30-year-old Higuain.
'I feel like a wheelchair like 4-5 years ago. I went back to Napoli`s shape and that made me happy. Milan gives me something more that is important to me after the weak World Cup.

I`m only sorry that we are back in the Serie A, because we deserve to be in a higher position than the tenth!', finished the former Real Madrid player.
