Contract negotiations between Napoli and Gonzalo Higuain have reportedly hit a snag over the Argentine striker's image rights.

The Partenopei are believed to have thrashed out a deal with Real Madrid somewhere in the region of €37m (£31.8m) last night.

However, the Corriere dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia have both claimed that Napoli are struggling to convince the striker to make the move.

Last year's runners-up in Serie A are said to want full ownership of Higuain's image rights, as opposed to the 50% Los Blancos took because of his sponsorship deal with Nike.
