Mino Raiola has offered Inter Milan the chance to sign Everton striker Moise Kean during negotiations over PSV star Denzel Dumfries to move to the San Siro, per FC Inter News.
Simone Inzaghi continues to be locked in discussions to take the Netherlands full-back to Italy to replace Achraf Hakimi. The Nerazzurri are striving to secure the Moroccan’s heir before their Serie A opener with Genoa on August 21 after selling to Paris Saint-Germain.
Everton wanted to rival for Dumfries, but backed out of a deal after he told Raiola he wants to join Inter, per Gazzetta dello Sport. The Toffees may now miss out to Inzaghi on one of their own players, too, as Raiola has offered Kean.
Raiola has asked Inter if they would be interested in signing Kean from Everton after PSG opted against a deal. The Italian spent last term on loan at le Parc des Princes and scored 17 goals in 41 games. He also helped reach the Champions League semi-finals.
But Mauricio Pochettino’s side refused to purchase Kean from Everton, instead preferring a second loan, per the Liverpool Echo. However, Rafa Benitez refused to sanction another temporary deal for the 21-year-old.
A move to Inter Milan could now appeal to Kean if the Nerazzurri elect to open discussions with Everton. FC Inter News note the nine-cap striker was a boyhood Inter supporter. The San Siro natives are now weighing up an approach as they consider reforming their attack.
Report by The Times in April claimed Everton value Kean at £45m after his productive PSG loan spell. The fee would represent a sizable profit for the Merseysiders, who paid Juventus £25m rising to £27.5m in 2019.
Inzaghi has a big pull in Everton striker Kean supporting Inter Milan in his youth
Inzaghi would have a big pull in Everton striker Kean supporting Inter Milan in his youth, should his San Siro natives open negotiations. The Nerazzurri may soon have the funds to meet the Toffees’ asking price, too, with Chelsea targeting Romelu Lukaku.
The Guardian report Chelsea are ready to bid £102m for the Belgian after Lukaku asked Inter to let him leave. Their determination to secure his return to Stamford Bridge convinced him and could earn £250,000-per-week in London.
However, Gianluca Di Marzio reports Inter are targeting Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata to replace Lukaku. Although, with the Colombian costing €40m (£34m), Inzaghi may also like Kean alongside him and Lautaro Martinez. An Italian Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel lauds.
“[Kean] has a big heart, he puts on intensity, he is not afraid,” Tuchel said, via BeIN Sports of Everton’s £53k-p/w striker. “He is courageous, he does what is necessary. I wouldn’t want to be a defender against him right now, it’s really hard to play against him.”
