If you’ve been paying attention over the last week, there has been a distinct change in the tone about Everton loanee Moise Kean and Juventus.
The striker is currently on loan with the Italian side after returning in 2021, with the Serie A side paying €7m for a two-year loan that includes a €28m obligation to buy next summer.
For the last few months Juventus have been determined to avoid paying that at all costs, with Kean struggling to prove himself and the Bianconeri even considering asking for a reduction.
Naturally Everton weren’t interested in that, despite claims not all the clauses had been met and they may not get their money, leading to potentially months of negotiations between the two clubs.
Kean, though, has turned things around in the past few weeks and Corriere dello Sport now cover his resurgence.
His ‘new life’ began with a goal against Verona, and he has not looked back since, with three goals in his last two games and a growing confidence.
Juventus are delighted as ‘doubts had arisen’ on the validity of the operation with Everton, which will ultimately cost the club around €38m.
Instead, the striker ‘really seems to have changed pace’ and there are ‘comforting signs’ that he may be ready to kick on and become the player that the Italian side want him to be.
Indeed, they now consider him something of an ‘insurance policy’ as when he scores, Juventus tend to win in Serie A.
The ‘obligation’ they are tied in to is now less daunting and worrisome than it once was, something we’re sure Everton will be delighted to hear after it seemed they were set to face the prospect of Juventus trying to get a discount or even find a way out.
