Juventus reportedly state a move for Moise Kean after the Italian international told Everton that he would not return to the club this summer.
Kean endured a frustrating first season in the Premier League after sealing a transfer to Toffees in 2019, although he has since revived his career in France with Paris Saint-Germain.

The 21-year-old has scored 12 goals in his 22 Ligue 1 appearances this season and has become an integral part of Mauricio Pochettino’s start XI since the former Tottenham boss arrived at the club in January.
And with Kean’s stocks now well and truly on the rise, he seems to have felt his chance to secure a move away from Everton, with the Gazetta dello Sport reporting that the youngster has informed Carlo Ancelotti that he will not be returning to Goodison Park this summer.
News of Kean’s availability has drawn attention to Juventus – the club he returned to in 2019 with his £ 27.5m move to Merseyside – with Andrea Pirlo keen to bolster his attacking options at the end of the season.
Despite the old lady’s interest in rumors and Everton’s desire to cut ties with the Italian, Toffee’s asking price of £ 43.4 million means that a move to Juventus would almost definitely be short, given their current financial difficulties.

However, Ancelotti’s obvious admiration for Juventus pairing Adrien Rabiot and Merih Demiral means that they can be offered as a weight in all potential deals and an agreement can still be reached.
Kean’s agent Mino Raiola has maintained an excellent relationship with Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli, and the so-called “super agent” is willing to listen to any suggestions that the Serie A giants want to make.
The future of Paulo Dybala could play a key role in the future development of Kean, with the Juve man said to resume contract negotiations with the club at the end of the season before deciding to leave the Allianz Stadium.
While the Argentine international has just over a year left on his current deal, the old lady would still order a decent fee for his services if he were to leave and it could free up some expenses when they look to rebuild the squad.
