Juventus are close to agreeing a fee with Everton for the signing of Moise Kean. The Bianconeri are also targeting Eden Hazard to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Manchester United on Friday.
The Portuguese sealed a return to his former club on August 27, ending his three-year Juventus spell. The forward scored 101 goals in 134 appearances for the Bianconeri and won five domestic titles.
With four days left in the transfer window, Juve have turned their attention towards Real Madrid star Eden Hazard, reports Marca.
Juventus are also interested in signing the Belgian on loan. Hazard replaced Ronaldo at Real following his move to Turin, but injuries and patches of bad form derailed his career. In three years, former Chelsea star has made just 45 appearances for the club while returning five goals.
Los Blancos are keen on removing the attacker from their wage bill, freeing them to pursue an audacious move for PSG’s Kylian Mbappe. Hazard also currently occupies the number 7 for Real Madrid – the same which the Frenchman wears for PSG.
Goal reports Juventus have reached an agreement to take Moise Kean back from Everton. They are expected to re-sign the Italian on an initial loan deal with an obligation to purchase him outright in 2023 for a fee of 24 million euros.
The 21-year-old left Juventus to sign for Premier League outfit in 2019 in a deal worth 27.5 million euros but scored only four times in 34 appearances. He spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Paris Saint-Germain, where he achieved a modest return of 17 goals in 41 appearances.
Massimiliano Allegri returned as the Juventus manager this season following his two-year sabbatical. The club signed Manuel Locatelli and Kaio Jorge on his behest, but the loss of Ronaldo after the start of the season is bound to hurt the team.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner nearly scored the winning goal for in the Serie A opener, only for him to be flagged offside. Juventus ended up drawing the game 2-2 against Udinese.
