The Everton striker Moise Kean is Juventus’s first-choice striker target, according to Tuttosport.
The Italian website claims that Juventus have, for some time, been looking for an agreement with Everton, to whom they sold Kean in August 2019.
The 20-year-old is said to have cost the Toffees €27.5 million (£25.1m) plus a further €2.5m (£2.3m) in bonuses, an amount that Tuttosport adds is unlikely to have been paid in full due to Kean’s failure to establish himself at Goodison Park.
For the same reason, it notes that Kean would ‘more than willingly’ return to Juventus, whose academy he progressed through and the club with whom he won his first senior caps for Italy, even though he knows he would be behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata, at least initially, in Andrea Pirlo’s plans.
The Italian champions could however turn to a reported Everton target if their Kean pursuit fails, according to Tuttosport.
It is claimed that the Napoli striker Fernando Llorente is an ‘option’ for Juventus, who, as with Kean, are one of his former clubs.
Llorente, in whom Area Napoli claims Everton and West Ham United are interested, is said to be out of Napoli’s squad and ‘expecting to free himself’.
The Spaniard was brought to Stadio San Paolo by the Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti.
