By Tom Wade
Everton forward Moise Kean has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park for a while now but has a change in the guard at Juventus made it a real possibility the the young Italian forward’s time on Merseyside is over..?
When Everton paid Juventus £24.75m for Kean back just one year ago, it was thought the Italian forward was the kid who was going to solve the teams goal-scoring issues and with it, they would have a young star on their hands.
However, for one reason or another it just hasn’t worked out for Kean at Everton and now the 20-year-old could be on his way out for the club and set for a return to a very familiar club.
According to a report by Italian paper Corriere Torino, new Juve boss Andrea Pirlo is keen to secure the forward’s return to Turin and with it, The Toffees could receive a former Premier League player in return.
It’s being reported that Juve would be willing to offer up former Arsenal and Wales International midfielder Aaron Ramsey in a potential deal that would see Kean rejoin the Italian giants.
The report suggests that Kean could initially join the Italian team on loan before being obligated to make the move permanent prior to the initial loan move.
