Juventus will try to cancel Moise Kean loan, send him back to Everton
Juventus are hoping to cancel their loan deal for Moise Kean and send him back to Everton according to Italian journalist Paolo Bargiggia.
The 22-year-old returned to Turin on a two year loan in the summer, having shone during a temporary stay at Paris Saint-Germain last season, but is struggling for game time under Massimiliano Allegri.
The Italian giants appear to have decided the striker is no longer in their plans and will look to negotiate their way out of the previous agreement.
According to Sport Witness, the Old Lady paid €7million up front to bring back their former player, with a fee of €28million due if the deal was eventually made permanent, but they are apparently no longer interested in continuing this arrangement.
Bargiggia told Calcio Mercato, via their Twitter feed: “On Kean the signals are not very good, they will try to return [him] by not continuing in the set operation when they took it”
Unwanted
It is a serious fall from grace for the young forward, who was seen as a significant coup when the Toffees splashed £27million on him in 2019, but became yet another example of wasted money under Farhad Moshiri.
Unless Frank Lampard can see a way to get the best out of him it is hard to see him back at Goodison.
Calcio Mercato had reported last month that PSG wanted to bring him back to Ligue 1, and they would surely make more sense, but their interest in him may rely on shifting Mauro Icardi.
Juventus had previously had an interest in the Argentine, with a potential swap move on the cards, but then spent €75million on Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina in January (Guardian).
That leaves Kean the odd man out, and the Toffees surely will not accept a termination of the deal they previously agreed, with the club facing enough financial difficulty as it is.
With relegation still a possibility, his return to Merseyside looks like a dead end, and the Serie A side will surely have to drum up interest elsewhere to secure the fee that Everton expect.
