Gonzalo Higuain wept as the Argentine striker announced he will retire from professional football at the end of the MLS season.
The 34-year-old, whose career has seen him grace the top flights in Spain, Italy and England, will hang up his boots at the conclusion of Inter Miami’s campaign. Higuain has scored more than 300 times for the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus and Napoli, as well as being a regular feature in the Argentina national team.
"After seventeen and a half years of the most wonderful professional career I have ever had, I feel that football has given me a lot, having given everything of myself and more,” he said during an emotional press conference on Monday.
