Juventus director Beppe Marotta and Lega Serie A have confirmed that the Bianconeri have completed the signing of Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli.
Marotta completed the registration of the Argentinian forward in person on Tuesday, taking all the necessary documents to league headquarters in Milan to seal the most expensive transfer ever in Italian football.
"It's all done, we've registered Higuain's contract," Marotta told Sportitalia on Tuesday evening.
Lega Serie A also confirmed that the transfer has gone through, posting the move in their list of completed transfers on Tuesday.
Juventus are expected to confirmed the signing of Higuain for a reported fee of €94 million later on Tuesday.
Higuain broke Gunnar Nordahl's 66-year-old Serie A goal-scoring record on the final day of last season when he scored a hat trick to make it 36 goals in 35 matches.
The former River Plate and Real Madrid striker scored a total of 71 goals for Napoli after joining the club in 2013 and helped the club to success in the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana in 2014.
He will hope to help Juventus to a sixth successive Serie A title this season.
The 28-year-old becomes Juve's biggest signing of a summer in which they have already brought in Miralem Pjanic, Dani Alves, Marko Pjaca, Mario Lemina and Medhi Benatia.
