GONZALO HIGUAIN has agreed to join David Beckham’s Inter Miami side, according to reports.
The striker, 32, has been forced to find a new club after new boss Andrea Pirlo confirmed his Juventus contract would be terminated.

According to journalist Cesar Luis Merlo, Higuain will sign for MLS side Inter Miami until 2022.
The deal is expected to be announced once the striker has reached a financial agreement with Juventus.
Higuain’s huge £6.7m-per-year contract at the Serie A side was not set to expire until 2021.
Reports suggested he would only leave if he was paid the £6.7m he is due for his final year.
When asked whether the reports were true, his brother and agent Nicolas told Tuttosport: “We have not yet gone into these details, we have only discussed the technical aspect.
“Pirlo and the managers have decided that there is no room for Gonzalo, now we will seek an agreement.
“I am convinced that there will be no major problems because we have a fantastic relationship with the managers”
Higuain attracted a wide range of interest after Pirlo confirmed he will leave the club.
Newcastle, Fulham and West Ham were among the English clubs that had been linked to him.
Major League Soccer side New York City and teams from the Far East also wanted him.
But Inter Miami have won the race for his signature after Beckham reportedly contacted Juve to discuss a deal.
