Wolves 'reject Higuain, Jimenez swap offer'

Juventus have reportedly failed with a bid to swap Gonzalo Higuain with Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Raul Jimenez.

Newly-appointed Juve boss Andrea Pirlo is prepared to make significant changes to his first-team squad this summer after replacing Maurizio Sarri in the dugout.

After starring for Wolves over the past two seasons, Jimenez has been heavily linked with a switch to a bigger club, a list which includes the Serie A champions.

However, according to Corriere dello Sport, Wolves have no interest in entertaining a swap proposal involving out-of-favour Higuain.

While the 32-year-old made 44 appearances for Juventus during the most recent campaign, the Argentine is free to leave the Turin-based outfit this summer.

Nevertheless, Wolves are said to value Jimenez in the region of £90m, significantly higher than Higuain, who has less than a year remaining on his contract.
