Today I am here to tell you my story. The day has come to say goodbye to football.” So Gonzalo Higuaín announced his retirement from football. Pipita will officially say “enough” at the end of his contract with Inter Miami which expires on December 31, 2022.
Pipita called a press conference and communicated his decision and then burst into tears. Even his current teammates wanted to pay tribute to him by greeting him personally.
Higuain has been pivotal for Inter Miami in recent weeks as he has scored 12 goals in the last 14 games to propel the team into the MLS playoffs. The decision to retire was still up in the air, as in several previous interviews he had already given the impression that he would have officially communicated it shortly thereafter.
The day has come to say goodbye to football, a profession that has given me a lot and I feel privileged to have lived it, with its good and not so good moments”. With these words, the Argentinian attacker has publicly announced his decision.
In Italy we appreciated him with the jerseys of Napoli, Juventus and Milan before he joined Chelsea and later at Inter Miami where he will end his career.

What a career.
This club is going to have a lot of stars play for it in its history but Higuain will always be the first.
There was nothing perfect about our first 3 years as a club and his time here was no different – but in the end it all worked out. He was worth every penny. pic.twitter.com/HokxeYyoHi
