Everton Open £36m Talks With Juventus for Rising Star Moise Kean

Everton are hopeful of signing Italian international Moise Kean, with the Merseyside club and Juventus in negotiations over a possible deal.

The young forward has fallen down the pecking order at Juventus, following the return of Chelsea loanee Gonzalo Higuain, whilst Cristiano Ronaldo is the primary option for Maurizio Sarri's side.

Everton, meanwhile, are looking to replace youngster Ademola Lookman, who left Goodison Park to join RB Leipzig on Thursday in a deal worth £22.5m - leaving just Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Cenk Tosun and the versatile Richarlison as forward options.

The Toffees believe that Kean is their man to replace Lookman, but according to Sky Sports, they will have to fork out £36m for the 19-year-old.
