Juventus are expected to sign Everton forward Moise Kean permanently in 2023, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

The 22-year-old is currently on a two-year loan deal at the Old Lady after failing to impress during his time at Goodison Park.

Now, Romano has admitted that the forward is expected to sign a “permanent deal” with Juventus in the new year.

“Juventus are expected sign Moise Kean on permanent deal from Everton in 2023,” said Romano via his Twitter.

“His agent Rafaela Pimenta says: ‘Moise is doing very well now and he’ll be an important player for Juventus for many years, tells Gazzetta’ as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.

Good riddance.

Kean may now be performing on the grand stage of Serie A but he seems to do this every now and again and then go missing for large parts of the season.

If Everton can secure a decent price tag for him they’d be better off without Kean taking up any unneeded space in their already overcrowded squad.

His current good form will only help the Toffees urge Juventus to make a higher bid for the Italian striker, so the Blues must be hoping he keeps it up.

In some ways, it’s a shame things didn’t work out for Kean at Goodison, on paper he’s the type of talent who could have taken the Premier League by storm.

Nevertheless, he seems he’s far too caught up in other things away from the pitch and taking the responsibility of being the go-to man at Everton was too much for him.

Any sale will hopefully go towards Frank Lampard finally finding his go-to poacher for the Blues, they desperately need one.
