Juventus’ decision to sign Moise Kean from Everton last summer has been questioned, with it suggested that they didn’t act like a big club in the deal.

Kean made a return to Juventus last summer after a disastrous two-year spell at Goodison Park following a move in October 2020.

He has joined the Italian club on an initial two-year loan deal, with the Italian side tied into a deal that means they will likely have to pay €30m for him on a permanent basis next year.

It has been hinted that this is something they would rather not do, with Kean having struggled to live up to his first spell at the club and help fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure.

There is a growing sense that Juve would prefer to buy the striker from Everton early and sell him on, with PSG still fans after his loan spell there last season.

That would be a complicated deal to work out, like the loan deal they agreed with Everton to sign him in the first place, something that has now been criticised by journalist Matteo Caronni.

“Juve made some mistakes in the passing game, and they are making others,” he told Calciomercato.it

“Locatelli, for example. Shall we talk about Kean? The Bianconeri were found unprepared by the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.

“They called Raiola to find the Portuguese’s replacement, and he brought the Italian. That’s not how a big club works.

“Allegri? These three years tell us that the problem is not the coach, we’ve had them all, and the results are the same. So the problem is the team.”
