Everton on loan striker Moise Kean offered to Atletico Madrid – report
Everton striker Moise Kean has been discussed with Spanish club Atletico Madrid, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Italy international is currently with Serie A giants Juventus who signed the striker on a two-year loan deal with an option to make it permanent for £30million.
According to the latest report, Juventus are looking to use Kean in a deal to sign Alvaro Morata permanently in the summer.
The 22-year-old joined Everton in a deal worth £24.75million in the summer of 2019 from the Turin-based outfit [Transfermarkt].
During his time at the Goodison Park, the young striker represented the Toffees in 39 matches across all competitions, scoring four times and providing two assists.
Everton finished the 2021-22 season with a goal difference of -23, which was the fifth-worst in the Premier League.
Moreover, the Toffees could only score 43 goals across 38 Premier League games, which ultimately cost Rafa Benitez his job at Goodison Park.
If Everton manage to sell Kean permanently, they will be limiting their already weakened attack. Dominic Calvert Lewin was sidelined for the majority of last season and there are chances that he or Richarlison might leave the club this summer.
With two of the Everton attackers already having a dark cloud on their future, the last thing Everton should be doing is losing out on their alternatives.
Even though Kean hasn’t had the best of times so far in his Everton career, Lampard must ensure that he will go in with more squad depth and better players compared to what he had in the previous campaign to avoid getting into another relegation battle.
