PSG pull out of race for Moise Kean, Juventus want to sell before paying Everton
Paris Saint-Germain are no longer interested in signing Moise Kean from Juventus, as the Italians look to cut ties with the Everton loanee.
That’s according to a new report by Foot Mercato [August 9] who say that the Turin club have had enough of the young striker and want to find a club to buy Kean so they can pay Everton and recoup their money immediately.
Kean joined Juventus on a two-year loan in 2021 with an obligation to turn the deal permanent in 2023 worth €31m (£27m).
Everton are unwilling to renegotiate the deal, and thus Juventus are being forced to find someone who will pay a similar amount for the 22-year-old and are doing everything they can to get rid of him.
But PSG are no longer interested since the departure of Leonardo despite holding talks earlier this window, while Nottingham Forest and Fulham have both moved on to other targets after initially showing interest in June.
Firm
If Juventus have had enough of Kean, then that sounds like their own problem and nothing to do with Everton.
Despite his obvious talent, the Toffees saw the issues he was bringing and decided to cut their losses early having signed him the summer prior in a big money deal.
Now Juventus having already committed to a deal want to get rid of the Italy international and are finding it tough. But Everotn must stay firm and hold out for the full amount, even if it means waiting until next year.
Juventus could try to get a discount by paying a fee this summer instead, but despite the obvious needs for cash at Goodison Park they would be better off waiting for the full amount.
The club are in the midst of rebuilding their squad and must cut out the bad decisions that have plagued them over the last few years. Accepting less money to get it now would be one of those bad decisions.
