Moise Kean leaves Everton as Juventus make early decision on permanent transfer

Moise Kean has left Everton after Juventus took up their obligation to re-sign the striker early.

Kean was in the second season of a two-year loan back with the club who sold him to Everton for £24million in August 2019 but the ECHO understands that Juventus formally rubber stamped his return last Tuesday.

When bringing the Italian international back to Piedmont in 2021, Juve always had an obligation to make the temporary switch into a permanent one so long as the player met a series of sporting objectives.

Kean was considered to be something of a coup when he first joined the Blues with a deal brokered by then director of football Marcel Brands for Marco Silva, but he struggled both on and off the pitch during his time in England, scoring just four goals in 39 games.

In October 2020, he moved to Paris Saint-Germain on a season-long loan, netting 17 times in 41 matches before going back to Juventus.

Reports in Italy have suggested Everton are set to recoup €28m (£24m) from the deal. The news comes days after Kean suffered the ignominy of being sent off just seconds after being introduced off the bench in Juventus' clash against Roma.
