Fiorentina are interested in signing Everton ace Moise Kean, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
What’s the story?
According to the Italian journalist, the Serie A club has “always liked” the Italy international.
However, signing the centre-forward could prove difficult in the remaining weeks of the window.
According to another renowned Italian journalist, Fabrizio Romano (via his Twitch stream), Rafa Benitez wants to keep Kean at Everton this summer.
Kean spent last season on loan at Paris Saint Germain. He was hugely successful during his time in France, scoring 19 times in 45 appearances across all competitions.
The French giants were keen to sign the 21-year-old on a permanent deal but failed to agree a move with the Toffees.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina are set to lose Dusan Vlahovic to Atletico Madrid. The latest news from AS reports the Spanish giants have agreed to a €70 million (£60 million) deal for the 21-year-old.
Kean unlikely to get much game time at Everton amid Fiorentina interest
Dominic Calvert-Lewin seems to have secured the sole spot as Everton’s number nine.
Meanwhile, Richarlison and Andros Townsend were brilliant on the wings during the win against Southampton at the weekend.
As a result, it begs the question – where does Kean fit into Benitez’s plans?
Kean is unlikely to get much game time at Everton it seems.
Selling or loaning the youngster out would be the best course of action in the remaining weeks of the window.
Everton either fetch a handsome fee for the ace or Kean continues his development elsewhere while boosting his value.
Either situation allows the Spaniard to further bolster his squad.
Meanwhile, a pundit said Benitez owes this player.
