The Napoli striker, Gonzalo Higuaín, was reportedly caught up in a fight with a supporter while on holiday in Ibiza.
The 27-year-old, who scored two goals for Argentina as they reached the final of the Copa América earlier this month before losing to Chile on a penalty shootout, has been enjoying a break on the Balearic island with the Paris Saint-Germain forward Ezequiel Lavezzi.
El Mundo newspaper stated on Wednesday that the pair were leaving the Pacha nightclub in the early hours when they were approached by a fan, who asked the former Real Madrid striker for an autograph. When Higuaín refused, the supporter reportedly shouted out “you cannot score penalties” in reference to his missed spot-kick in the shootout.
Wearing a distinctive black hat, a video released by the newspaper appears to show Higuain reacting angrily before shouting: “Delete the video or I’ll rip off your head.” The brawl then seems to die down as Higuaín is dragged away from the scene.
