Jorge then played for The Argentinian clubs San Lorenzo, Boca Juniors and River Plate. With the latter Higuain Sr. twice became the champion of Argentina.

The Higuain family returned to their homeland when Gonzalo was less than a year old.

His father instilled his love for the most popular sport on the planet, but recently the Juventus striker admitted in an interview to journalists that he adored tennis as a child. History does not tolerate subjunctive inclination, but if life "went past football", Gonzalo would choose tennis. Higuain has no doubt that sport in one form or another would take the main place in his biography.

The 16-year-old athlete in the grand of Argentine football - the club "River Plate" played in which, famous "Pipa" - so nicknamed Higuain Sr. The son received a nickname derived from his father's - "Pipita."

At the 2010 World Cup, the forward was accompanied by a model and actress, who is called "Argentine Pamela Anderson" for the size of the bust, Luciana Salazar.

In February 2018, the Striker of "Old Signora" distinguished himself in an unpredictable match of the 1/8 final of the Champions League in Turin. Recall, the head coach of "black and white" Massimiliano Allegri preferred the Argentine Harry Kane, the Tottenham striker.
