Pumping up the price or the reality of modern football: Everton are asking 97 million USD from PSG for Kean

Going to Paris Saint-Germain last October was supposed to serve Moise Kean to regain his shaken self-confidence after bleak performances in the Premier League, but what the young Italian center forward is going through in Paris is a real football revolution.

He may not be (yet) a caliber for the Premier League, but Kean plays the football of a lifetime at Parc de Princes. With 16 goals in all competitions, including one against Barcelona at the opening of the elimination phase of the Champions League, Kean has established himself among the best scorers of Paris Saint-Germain this season, although he is officially listed as a reserve for Mauro Icardi. Everton welcomed this outcome with a big smile on their face because they will try to cash in on his good shows in the summer, aware that such an outcome may be the best for the club and the 20-year-old striker.

According to the information of the Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Everton plans to ask as much as 97 million USD (10.6 billion KES) for Kean, which is a sum that the Saints will hardly agree to. Not only would it be the third most allocated amount of money for one player after Neymar (268 million USD) and Kylian Mbappe (217 million USD), but the transfer of this value would close the door to the French club for much more important jobs, as they also plan on reinforcing their defense and midfield.

Everton do not want to suffocate the offensive line after the explosion of Dominic Calvert Lewin and the arrival of Joshua King. Calvert Lewin is primarily a domestic product that is highly valued in English football, so no one else will be able to have an advantage over him if the young center forward continues to provide such good games in the Toffee's shirt.

The solution for Kean could be a return to Juventus. In a conversation with the Italian media after the convincing triumph over Barcelona in Catalonia, he stated that the Old Lady is still in his heart and that it holds a special place. Juventus is struggling with their attackers, no replacement for Alvaro Morata has been found this January, and that will be one of the priorities of the Turin club after the difficulties with the scoring when Cristiano Ronaldo is not on the pitch. Juventus also got in touch with Kean last summer, whom they sold to Everton for 33 million USD (3.6 billion KES) in August 2019, but the return-transfer did not happen. The price could be much higher now, especially if Kean continues to play at a high level...
