Fabrizio Romano: Nottingham Forest not interested in Everton striker Moise Kean
Premier League newcomer Nottingham Forest are not interested in signing Everton striker Moise Kean, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Italian newspaper Corrire dello Sport reported on 25 June in their print edition (page 9) that Kean has got offers from several Europan clubs, but he prefers a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Reports from Italy suggested that Nottingham Forest and Fulham were interested in signing the player, but Kean was not convinced by their offers.
Romano wrote on Twitter: “Nottingham Forest are not interested in Moise Kean despite rumours from Italy, they are focused on different targets.
“No agreement close yet for Neco Williams – he’s a target alongside Omar Richards but both deals are still not agreed.”
No future at Everton
Kean spent the last season on loan at Juventus, but the Old Lady are not looking to sign him on a permanent deal.
It’s unclear what they will do, but most likely the club want to pay Everton a chunk of money and then offload him elsewhere.
The Toffees badly need a striker who can compliment Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but it seems Kean is not an option for Frank Lampard at the moment.
Everton are due around £25m next summer as part of the terms of their original loan deal and it would be ideal for Juventus if they pay the Toffees off so they can claim his rights themselves so that they can sell him immediately at a higher price.
The Italy international is a fantastic young talent, but his career is stuck in limbo. He is someone nobody wants in their squad. It seems the rumours of interest from Forest were wide of the mark as they are looking at options elsewhere.
