Chelsea are keen on bringing in the 31 year old striker and Gattuso seems to have admitted defeat in their attempt to keep the striker.
“When a player makes up his mind it becomes hard to convince them otherwise,” said Gattuso of Higuain. “I have a relationship with him that features great honesty, we say things to one another’s face.
“At the moment, he’s our player and we’re holding on tightly to him. I don’t know what will happen. I’ve talked to him a great deal but it’s hard to give advice because the career of a player only lasts 13-14 years,” continued Gattuso.
“It’s his mind, not mine. The most important thing is to talk as men, look each other in the eyes and speak the truth. I still don’t understand what Higuain’s unhappy about because I see a happy lad, involved in the locker room. We’ll see what happens. If it was up to me, I’d keep him at my house and feed him my dinner.”
