"?Napoli and Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain has refused to address the speculation regarding his club future until after he has finished competing at the Copa America with his country.
"I'm only thinking about the national team. We'll talk after the Copa," Higuain told Sky Italia when quizzed about the situation.
Because he didn't explicitly rule out a move this summer, the 28-year-old's words have created a fresh level of transfer frenzy, especially after Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was spotted at Argentina's clash with Chile.

Klopp was seen watching on from the stands in Santa Clara, California with Higuain's agent. The German then left after the striker was substituted despite the game still going on.
However, despite earlier reports emerging that a deal to Higuain, once of Real Madrid, to Anfield is very close, the Liverpool Echo weighed in to reveal that Klopp is merely on holiday and that there is no interest from the Reds.

Higuain has been valued at anything between £60m and £90m+ by Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis over the last 12 months. His current release clause is believed to stand at £76m.
The French-born striker, also linked with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and others at various points in time, had the best season of his career in 2015/16. He scored 36 times in 35 Serie A games - breaking a 66-year-old league record - with an overall tally of 38 in 42.
Having missed from the spot in the penalty shootout that decided last summer's Copa America final, handing the title to Chile, Higuain will no doubt be keen to right that wrong with a fine display.
