Matteo Salvini, who is a right-wing politician and also interior minister, is a staunch AC Milan fan.
He has blasted Higuain's move to Chelsea and told him: Don't come back to Milan.
The Blues striker ended a loan spell at the Serie A side to move to Maurizio Sarri's Blues earlier this month, and provided glimpses of what is to come against in the win against Sheffield Wednesday.
But Salvini does not want him ever to return.
He told RTL radio: "I'm glad that Higuain has gone. I hope we'll never see him again in Milan because he really behaved in an unworthy manner.
"I don't like mercenaries in politics or football."
Salvini previously blasted Higuain after the striker was sent off against Juventus.
The politician said: "I am embarrassed by our centre-forward's behaviour. It was unworthy of the club."
Higuain, 31, scored eight goals in 22 games while on loan at Milan in the first half of the season.
Milan got cover for the Argentina star in the form of Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek, who signed a four-year deal from Genoa.
And Salvini, 45, who is leader of the anti-migrant Northern League party, has a lot of time for him.
He added: "I like Piatek very much, plus he has an EU passport."
Higuain has also come in for criticism from Ruud Gullit, who claims he will not be the problem to Chelsea's striker problems.
Gullit said: "I hope I am wrong, I really do, but Higuain is an old-fashioned striker who needs crosses and, if he plays up front all the time, he will not see many balls there because of the way Eden Hazard and Willian play.
"Those two always come inside, and dribble or shoot, and try to do things themselves.
"So they don't need a player up there who is a target man, because Chelsea don't use one and, under Sarri, they never do.
"Instead they need a centre-forward who can play in midfield too, and be effective on the ball as well as be a finisher inside the box.
"Roberto Firmino, who comes so deep for Liverpool, is the perfect example.
"That is how Chelsea's front man has to play too, which is why I am not sure Higuain is the answer."
