Moise Kean hopes that Paris Saint-Germain are willing to ‘do everything’ to keep him at the Parc des Princes, although Everton’s stance will not make a permanent transfer easy to secure, as reported by Le10 Sport.
You’d think that even Denis Stracqualursi would find the net on a few occasions when being served up chances on a silver platter by Angel di Maria, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and co in the French capital.
But few would have expected Kean to make such a remarkable impact at one Europe’s biggest clubs.
The Everton man has been nothing short of a revelation at PSG, netting 15 times in 29 matches.
There were concerns about Kean’s development when Thomas Tuchel was replaced by Mauricio Pochettino in December but, after a sluggish start to life under the Argentine, the 21-year-old has won over his new boss in recent weeks.
Kean started as PSG beat title rivals Lyon 4-2 away from home on Sunday – a result that lifted the Champions League quarter-finalists into top spot.
It remains to be seen whether Kean’s stunning season across the Channel earns him a fresh start at Goodison Park. Everton are not exactly overloaded with number nines, even if Richarlison did appear to grow into a more central role during Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s recent injury-enforced absence.
Le10 Sport claims that Juventus are working on a deal that would see Kean return to the club who sold him for £27 million two years ago. But the striker’s priority, as it stands, is to stay, full-time, at PSG.
But with Fabrizio Romano claiming that Everton are demanding a staggering £70 million, Kean may be left rather disappointed.
“Difficult,” PSG sporting director Leonardo told France Bleu when asked if Kean would stay.
“Everton didn’t want to lose him (permanently). He plays very well, he scores.
“We could not do anything other than a loan and I think that today having him available for a year is already very positive.
“If we can see the future under certain conditions, we will try to see how it goes, but today, it’s very complicated.”
