Everton continue to be linked with striker Moise Kean.
According to Goal, Juventus striker Moise Kean has said ‘yes’ to joining Everton – but the disagreement over a buy-back clause remains the problem.
Everton are in the market for a new striker this summer, with Cenk Tosun and Oumar Niasse clearly not the answer in Marco Silva’s side.
The Toffees have been linked with a host of strikers this summer, but the strongest link has been with Juventus wonderkid Kean.
It’s now claimed that Kean has given his approval to a move to Goodison Park, with agent Mino Raiola seemingly learning Everton’s terms – and the striker is interested.
However, there’s still a massive problem in the talks, as whilst Everton would happily pay €40million (£36million) for the teenager, they are refusing to give Juventus the buy-back clause they’re demanding.
There’s now a stalemate in talks, and with Juventus insistent on having the option to bring Kean back to Turin, it may be difficult to find a middle ground this summer.
Kean, 19, is one of the most exciting young strikers in Europe after scoring six goals in 13 games for Juve last season, and only five games came as a starter.
If Everton can somehow land Kean’s signature, it may be the biggest coup of the Marcel Brands era – but there is a massive hurdle to be cleared yet.
