Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Juventus are interested in signing Moise Kean from Everton as a potential replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, who is wanted by Manchester City.

The well-known and well-respected journalist has claimed that Juventus are already in contact with Everton over signing Kean.

Paris Saint-Germain wanted to re-sign the Italy international striker on a loan deal, but the Toffees turned it down, according to Romano.

Premier League champions City are keen on signing Ronaldo before the summer transfer window closes next week.

Should Everton sell Moise Kean?

Kean has failed to make an impact at Everton since his move from Juventus in 2019.

The 21-year-old has scored two goals in 32 Premier League appearances for the Toffees so far.

The youngster scored 13 goals in 22 Ligue 1 starts and found the back of the net thrice in the Champions League during his loan spell at PSG last season.

Now, of course, Rafael Benitez is the manager of Everton now, and he could decide to use the 21-year-old.

However, if Juventus make a big offer and are willing to pay more than what they got from Everton for Kean in 2019, then selling him now would not be a bad idea.

Kean cost the Toffees £25.1 million in transfer fee when they signed him from Juventus in the summer of 2019, as reported by BBC Sport.
