Juventus coach Pirlo revealed he have told Higuain to leave

Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo admits it's time for Gonzalo Higuain to move on.

Pirlo admits he's spoken to the veteran striker.

“I spoke to Higuain. He's a person I admire very much, he had an important period here and was a great player," Pirlo said at a press conference.

“But we decided that our paths must be divided. He was a great champion, but the cycles end. He was put aside but as a serious person, we spoke to each other and made this decision.

“As for [Sami] Khedira, he's injured. We'll see when he gets better."
