Juventus are determined to take Moise Kean back to Turin and could offer Aaron Ramsey or Douglas Costa to Everton as makeweights in any potential deal, as reported by TuttoJuve.
Strangely enough, a player farmed out on loan last summer after falling out of favour under Carlo Ancelotti is quickly becoming one of the Toffees’ most coveted players.
In 29 games, Kean has scored 15 times during a superb spell at Paris Saint-Germain.
With the long-term futures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala shrouded in doubt, reports in Italy claim that Juventus would jump at the chance to bring their one-time academy graduate back to the club where he made his name.
After recording losses of £100 million during the first half of the financial year, however, Juventus cannot simply throw money at their problems and hope they go away.
TuttoJuve reports that the soon-to-be dethroned Serie A champions will have to get creative if they want Kean back in black and white. They claim that Andrea Pirlo’s side could offer Brazil international Costa or former Arsenal midfielder Ramsey to Everton in a player-plus-cash exchange which would see the 21-year-old Italian go in the other direction.
Both Costa and Ramsey are expected to cost around £12 million.
The former, who has struggled for game-time on loan at Bayern Munich this term, would represent a sizeable upgrade on the hard-working but often ineffectual Alex Iwobi while Ramsey could be the sort of dynamic, creative central midfielder Everton need.
The Toffees remain worryingly overreliant on James Rodriguez in the final third and have lost against Burnley, Newcastle and Chelsea in his absence.
