Inter Milan don’t want Moise Kean, Everton struggle to find buyer
Everton are struggling to find a buyer for Moise Kean and have told the wantaway striker to try and force his way into Rafa Benitez’s plans, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Inter Milan had been linked with signing the 21-year-old striker but the Merseyside newspaper now claims the Italian club are not interested in a deal.
Kean spent last season on loan at Paris Saint-Germain but Lionel Messi’s sensational move to the French capital is expected to close the door on a return there for the Italy international.
It is understood that Everton want to sell Kean permanently and are not keen on loaning him out again.
However, “there are growing concerns” they won’t be able to sell the former Juventus ace with just over two weeks left of the transfer window.
Stick or twist?
With Everton struggling to sell Kean, they have a couple of options to turn to.
They either need to try and loan the £27.5million striker out again because doing this will get him playing, keep his transfer value high and, hopefully, he could see the light and return to Everton next year and impress.
Or, the Blues could hope that happens this summer and he decides to knuckle down and work hard at Goodison and work his way into Benitez’s plans.
That would be ideal because as it stands, Benitez is light on options up front and Kean would be a great back-up for Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
We’ve seen how the England international can go off the boil and while we have no doubt in our minds he’s the right player to spearhead our attack, Kean would be a good option to come in if DCL starts to misfire at any point.
Kean might not like the thought of that but if he stays at Everton, the only way he’s going to get clubs interested in him is to perform well and show he can really apply himself even when it’s clear he doesn’t want to be here.
