Leeds have been linked to Moise Kean.
Juventus forward Moise Kean is one of Italy’s most exciting prospects.
At the Bianconeri, he is finding it tough to play regularly, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala regulars in attack and Mario Mandzukic also an option.
Kean has been linked to Leeds United ever since last January, and this week were linked with another bid, by Spanish newspaper SPORT.
Kean’s agent is Mino Raiola, who Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani told TalkSport earlier this year he is willing to work with in the transfer market.
Leeds’ hopes have been boosted after the striker’s brother stated this week that Kean is open to a loan abroad.
His brother Giovani told Tutto Juve: “Parma or Sampdoria? I don’t think Moise will stay in Italy, in January he’d like to go and try a different league to the Italian one.
“I honestly don’t know how many teams are following him, but we’ll see how the situation evolves. Not least because so many things could happen between now and January.”
His comments clearly work in Leeds’ favour, although Marcelo Bielsa’s former club Marseille are also interested.
Kean made his Italy debut this week, coming off the bench against USA.
Goal have also reported that Juventus are considering loaning the 18-year-old out. It is unclear if their preference to send him abroad matches up with Kean, or if they would prefer he stays in Italy and gains more experience in Serie A.
The potential problem with a move to Leeds is that in addition to adjusting to a cultural change, competition for places would not necessarily make the teenager an automatic starter.
