Sent on loan to Paris Saint-Germain by Everton in order to rekindle his form following a poor first season at Goodison Park, Moise Kean grasped the opportunity with both hands.
The striker has thrived alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappé and Neymar, to the point where it’s rather obvious the Ligue 1 champions will try and sign him permanently at the end of the campaign.
Whether they do depends entirely on the type of offer they make and the wishes of Carlo Ancelotti, but it would be surprising if they just happily let him return to Merseyside without a fight.
Either way, if they do, then Juventus are ready to pounce, as explained on Friday by Gazzetta dello Sport, who look at what the Serie A side will try and do to give Cristiano Ronaldo the reinforcements he’s asked for.
They know that Leonardo ‘would buy him immediately’, but with Everton only agreeing to a dry loan with no purchase option, ‘the player’s will is likely to be decisive’.
That’s where Juventus could have the advantage, because ‘what if he had the desire to make it at the club where he launched himself?’.
For now, the Serie A champions ‘are reflecting, just like the player himself’, and while ‘we are only at the preambles, the nets have been cast’.
