JAKARTA Inter Miami player Gonzalo Higuain will decide to hang up his boots from football after the Major League Soccer (MLS) competition this season ends.

The 34-year-old Argentina international striker has played three seasons at MLS. During this period, the former Real Madrid player scored a total of 27 goals in 65 matches.

"It's time to say goodbye to football, a profession that has given me so much and I am honored to live with good and not so good moments," Higuain said, quoted by Marca, Tuesday.

Gonzalo Higuain started his career at the River Plate youth academy before moving to Real Madrid in the 2006/2007 winter transfer window.

Seven seasons later after earning three La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey trophy, and two Spanish Super Cups, along with Los Blancos, he decided to move to Napoli.

Higuain immediately appeared slick with Napoli. In total he scored 36 goals in 35 matches in the 2015/2016 season, the number that made him the top scorer in Serie A.

That figure is also a record number of goals scored in a season in Serie A. The record was only matched a few years later by Ciro Immobile.

After coming from Napoli, Higuain decided to move to Juventus. In his first season with the Old Lady he managed to score 24 goals. He was also loaned to AC Milan and Chelsea before joining Inter Miami in 2020.

In addition, Higuain also played an important role in Argentina's national team. With the Tango team, he played a total of nine years (2009-2018) and scored 31 goals in 75 games. He was in the Albiceleste squad during his second finish at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
