Juventus have signed Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli.
The 28-year-old has signed a five-year deal at Juventus when the club met his buy-out clause of 90m euros (£75.3m), which is able to be paid in 2 instalments.
Higuain's move is that the third highest in history and also the costliest domestic transfer of all time.
Higuain, WHO joined Napoli from Real national capital in 2013 for £34.5m, was connected with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal earlier this month.
The £75.3m fee for the France-born forward is dwarfed solely by those paid by Real national capital for Cristiano Ronaldo (£80m) and Gareth Bale (£85m).
The previous highest domestic transfer was the £50m deal that took Kingdom of Spain striker Fernando Torres from city to Chelsea in Gregorian calendar month 2011.
Higuain won the Capocannoniere - Serie A's golden boot - last season when marking a league record-equalling thirty six goals as Napoli finished runners-up to his new club.
It was solely the second time this century a player had scored over thirty goals in a very Serie A season, following Luca Toni's tally of thirty one for Fiorentina in 2005-06.
The transfer may have an impact on Manchester United's move for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, with the 23-year-old reportedly the topic of a £100m bid from the Premier League club.
