Juventus spent much of the summer window trying to find a new home for Moise Kean, and a way to make the deal they agreed with Everton work for them.
The Turin club sold Kean to the Toffees for around €30m in the summer 2019 transfer window. After the switch didn’t work out the way those involved had hoped, he was fortunate to get a loan move to PSG the following summer.
Things went a little better there, and there was talk of him continuing with the French club on a permanent basis. Other business done by PSG that summer made such a scenario less likely, and Juventus entered the picture.
A two year loan deal was agreed, with a near-certain clause which meant Juventus would have to pay around €35m for the transfer in total. During his first season back in Turin, he scored just six goals, hence them trying to move him on.
His agent Rafaela Pimenta has been speaking to Tuttosport, and has been quoted by TMW explaining money may have go to the 22-year-old too early: “He’s a boy, he emerged at sixteen, he earned a lot of money and he may have confused him, but he is talented and good. At Juventus everyone agrees that he is a professional, they do not blame him for wrong behaviour. He is a boy who now only asks to play. Sometimes we forget that he is born in 2000, because he started early. Now he is becoming an adult, I always tell him.”
