Higuain's controversial transfer marks the third most expensive transfer in football history as he signed a lucrative five-year contract with the Serie A champions.
Upon his unveiling at the club the 28-year-old insisted he was keen to prove his worth on the field of play in the upcoming season.
"Now I need to show to them that I am worth the money they paid for me," he told reporters.
"What can you say about Juventus, they are known all over the world. It is a great team that has it all to gain."
Last season's Capocannoniere winner, with 36 goals in 35 games, then responded to his former club's owner Aurelio De Laurentiis, who had suggested the Argentina international was a 'traitor'.
"Relations with him [De Laurentiis] never went well because his way of thinking is at odds with my way of thinking," added Higuain.
"I chose to join Juventus but he pushed me to do it. Now, I'm really happy I did and I want to thank Juventus for the effort they made to come and get me."
