Italian icon and one-club man Francesco Totti, who is set to play his final season with Roma, has said Higuain's move is a "disaster" that smacks more of "business than passion".
"Look at what's happened now with Gonzalo Higuain leaving Napoli for Juventus. It's a disaster," said Totti.
"But, it's completely normal now that when a foreigner comes to Italy he has the possibility of going to another team to make more money."
When asked to comment on Totti's stinging assessment, Higuain replied, "I've got no comment to make about that. All I can say is he's a great player."
Juventus begin their bid for a record sixth consecutive title, and a third consecutive league and Cup double, when they host Fiorentina on August 20.
