The rumours, which began with Klopp supposedly scouting the player at the Copa America (via Mirror) (spoiler alert — he was just on his holidays (via Echo)), rumbled on all summer.
However, if it wasn’t already clear, those rumours are now officially dead in the water. The 28-year-old, who bagged 71 goals in 104 Serie A games for Napoli, has joined Juventus in a deal reported to be worth a massive £75.3 million (via BBC).

The deal will become the third largest in history, bettered only by Gareth Bale’s £85 million move to Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo’s £80 million switch to the same club.
Last season the Argentinian international scored 36 league goals. It’s only the second time this century that a player has scored more than 30 in Italy’s top flight (the other was Luca Toni in 2006).
