According to Calciomercato, Paris Saint-Germain are in advanced talks with Everton over the signing of Moise Kean.
The 21-year-old is currently on loan at the Parc des Princes, where he has enjoyed success under both Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino.
Kean has scored 19 goals in 44 appearances, including a strike against Barcelona inside the Camp Nou.
Now, PSG are so convinced by the 8-cap Italy international that they’re close to finalising a permanent deal.
Calciomercato state that Everton requested €50 million (£43 million) from Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
However, they could now accept €45 million (£38.8 million).
PSG will offer Kean a contract worth €3 million-a-season (£2.6 million) lasting until 2024.
The former Juventus striker has undoubtedly earned this big-money move.
However, it’s a shame to see him depart Goodison Park so soon after arriving.
Kean could become one of Europe’s best forwards in years to come.
In that respect, it seems strange that the Toffees would be so willing to part with him less than two years after he arrived from Juventus for £29 million.
Nevertheless, if Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t have plans to use Kean, then £38.8 million is good money to reinvest in the squad.
Marcel Brands has done well to wrangle a profit out of what was arguably a failed signing.
It is now up to the Dutchman to ensure it is spent on better purchases, in a similar mould to the likes of Lucas Digne and Abdoulaye Doucoure.
