As a result of his fine displays for Paris Saint-Germain, much has been made about Moise Kean’s future at Everton.

According to Sky Sports, the Parisians were in talks with the Toffees over a permanent deal for the 8-cap Italy international back in January.

More recently, Gazzetta dello Sport claimed Juventus want their former striker back in Turin.

Now, Carlo Ancelotti has commented on the 21-year-old’s future.

Speaking to The Telegraph, the 61-year-old said: “If Paris Saint-Germain want him they have to open discussions about him. We are open but if nothing happens then he will be an Everton player next season and an important player.”

By the sounds of it, Ancelotti is more than happy to welcome the £29 million man back to Goodison Park.

After all, he did call him a ‘fantastic‘ player back in his first press conference as Everton boss.

However, it also sounds like he’s not prepared to make things difficult if Kean wants to stay in Paris.

In our view, it would be a shame for Everton to lose him so soon after his arrival.

Kean has the potential to become a world-class forward, and hasn’t looked out of place one bit alongside Kylian Mbappé and Neymar at the Parc des Princes.

In 37 appearances for PSG this season, the £53,173-a-week man has impressively scored 18 goals.

To be registering those numbers at 21 years of age is eye-catching, to say the least.

Hopefully, he stays on Merseyside and is given a proper chance to prove himself in the Premier League next season.
