Moise Kean might not be in Everton’s good books these days, but that doesn’t mean an exit from Goodison Park is just around the corner.
The Italian media might remind us that a number of teams could be interested in the young striker, but his wages and the gamble he represents doesn’t place him at the top of lists.
That’s why we’ve seen more and more reports about it being Mino Raiola trying to find him a new club, which is what Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting on Wednesday.
They claim the agent is ‘looking to bring him on loan’ to AS Roma, but there are hurdles to overcome.
A sale would go a long way for the Serie A side, which is why there is hope they can offload Javier Pastore to an MLS side, even if the Argentine’s agent has made it clear his client would like to stay in Italy’s capital.
Patrik Schick (on loan at RB Leipzig) is another option, and money in the bank would allow them to make the assault for Kean ‘quicker’.
There’s no indication whether or not the player himself would want the move in this article, but judging from previous reports, the chance of returning to his home country and playing with his best friend Nicolò Zaniolo isn’t something he’d be against.
And Corriere dello Sport also have an update, echoing Gazzetta’s idea that a Schick sale to Leipzig would go a long way to getting Kean, with the plan being a loan with a view to buy at €20m.
It’s less than what Everton paid, but he’d be two years into his contract by the time they had to pay the fee, allowing the Goodison Park club to mostly ‘amortise’ the original expenditure.
Wishful thinking, maybe, but a lot could depend on what the Toffees’ plans for Kean are after his quarantine party.
