Everton striker Moise Kean has become a ‘concrete’ option for Juventus as they line up replacements for Cristiano Ronaldo.
That’s according to Calciomercato, who say Mino Raiola has already arrived at Continassa to meet Juventus’ management and discuss the Everton man.
The website explains that Ronaldo’s future is a knot to untangle for the Italian giants as there is tension between his agent Jorge Mendes and the club.
Nonetheless, they have begun to ‘look around’ for a replacement in case the Portuguese star departs, and Moise Kean is ‘one of the names on the list’.
Any move would be a comeback for the striker, who is not a major part of Rafa Benitez’s plans at Everton moving forwards.
CM say he has become a ‘concrete name’ for the club, and his agent, Raiola, has arrived at the club to hold talks about a move.
This is all backed up by Tuttomercatoweb, who confirm that Raiola has arrived at Juventus and even have a video of him doing so.
They say the ‘spotlight’ is very much on Kean, who they would be able to include in their Champions League squad as a product of their youth setup.
TMW offer a little more, though, stating that Everton have ‘already opened’ to the idea of a loan deal for the young Italian.
That seems difficult to believe, given they’re desperate for money, but perhaps it all has something to do with the negotiations for Weston McKennie.
One idea could be that Everton sanction a loan for Kean if they’re given an equally good deal on McKennie, something which would suit both clubs considerably.
