Fabrizio Romano has claimed on Twitter that Juventus are about to sign Moise Kean from Everton as a replacement for Manchester United-bound Cristiano Ronaldo.

The well-known and well-respected journalist has reported that Juventus have agreed a loan deal with Everton over the transfer of Kean.

The striker will return to the Italian club on loan with obligation to buy under certain conditions.

The 21-year-old striker will undergo a medical in Turin tomorrow and has already agreed personal terms with Juventus.

United announced yesterday that they have agreed a deal with Juventus to re-sign 36-year-old Portugal international forward Ronaldo, which left the Serie A club searching for a replacement.

No future at Everton?

Romano has reported that Kean will return to his former club Juventus on loan, but it is hard to see the striker have a long-term future at Everton.

The youngster was on loan at Paris Saint-Germain last season, and even under new Everton manager Rafael Benitez this campaign, he could not find a place in the first team.

Kean has scored two goals in 32 Premier League appearances for the Toffees so far.

The striker 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.
