Juventus bring Moise Kean back from Everton in €7m loan after Ronaldo departure

Juventus have brought Moise Kean back to the club from Everton on a two-year loan with an obligation to buy following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Kean returns to Turin two years after the forward left for the Premier League in a £27million (€31.5m) move, having signed a five-year deal with the Toffees.

Juve will pay €7m (£6m) for the striker s loan spell, payable over two years. They will be obliged to re-sign him on a permanent basis for a fee that could reach €31m (£26.6m) if certain objectives are met.

The Italy international s arrival follows Ronaldo s switch back to Manchester United, with Massimiliano Allegri eager to bolster his attacking options.

Kean impressed on loan at Paris Saint-Germain last season, scoring 13 times in 26 Ligue 1 outings.

But he failed to make an impact at Goodison Park, with his 32 top-flight outings yielding only two goals.

The appointment of Rafael Benitez at Everton might have ushered in a fresh start for Kean, but that will not now materialise.

Kean was sent off in Tuesday s EFL Cup win at Huddersfield Town, while he featured only very briefly in the 2-2 draw at Leeds United in the Premier League.

Kean made his Juve debut aged just 16 years, eight months and 21 days in November 2016, becoming the club s youngest ever player. 

He made 16 Serie A appearances in in his first spell at Juve, scoring seven goals, while he won the Scudetto twice and the Coppa Italia once.
