Moise Kean returns back to Everton after a successful loan spell at PSG but what is the next step for the Italian striker?

After spending the season on loan with Paris Saint-Germain, Moise Kean returns to Everton with his future still to be decided.

Kean has already expressed his desire to stay in the French capital, and with Everton willing to allow the forward to leave, a second season at PSG looks to be on the cards.

When the Toffees signed Kean in 2019 from Juventus for an initial fee of £25m, his wonder-kid persona brought optimism to Goodison Park.

However, his time on Merseyside didn’t plan out the way Evertonians were hoping for or expected.

The Italian struggled for goals and in 37 games for the club, he only managed four with two coming in the Premier League and two in the Carabao Cup against Salford City and Fleetwood Town.

The arrival of Carlo Ancelotti in December 2019, brought restricted game time for Kean who since only started four Premier League matches.

A lack of minutes and goals saw Ancelotti loaning Kean for the remainder of the campaign with PSG his destination.

The 21-year old’s PSG chapter was completely different to his Everton one as he frequently played and scored goals. Only Kylian Mbappe managed to score more goals (26) for the French side.

Playing alongside Neymar, Mbappe and Angel Di Maria, Kean netted 17 times in 40 appearances. He scored 13 Ligue 1 goals and three in the Champions League which included an important header against Barcelona.

Despite Mauricio Pochettino’s side failing to defend their Ligue 1 title which Lille claimed by a point, Kean did enjoy silverware.

The striker’s penalty shootout winner sent the Parisians to the Coupe de France final which they defended successfully following a 2-0 victory over Monaco as Kean featured for 10 minutes.

Following PSG’s final home game of the season, Kean posted on his official Instagram account:

“Happy to score in the last game at Parc des Princes, Hope to see you next season!”

With Kean’s intentions clear, the same can also be said for his Everton manager who has made it clear he does not want to keep unhappy players at Goodison Park. Ancelloti said:

“If he wants to stay at Paris Saint-Germain, the only way is to find a deal with PSG.

“I don’t want players who are unhappy and if there are some players who are not happy, they can leave no problem at all. I want players that are happy, want to stay and feel part of this project.”

With no option to buy clause in the deal, it is now left to the two clubs to agree on a fee for the Italian international.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Everton are willing to enter negotiations with PSG and already know the price they will demand to let Kean go. In his own podcast, Here We Go, Romano revealed:

“PSG want to keep Moise Kean, and Moise Kean wants to stay.

“The negotiations with Everton are not easy about the fee. Everton are 100% open to negotiate and find an agreement, but they want around €45-50.”

According to L’Equipe, PSG are hoping to lower the price with €25-30m being more in their range.

The transfer window in England and France opens on June 9th, but with Kean already named in Italy’s provisional 33-man Euro 2020 squad, a deal may not be completed till the conclusion of the tournament.

What looks likely, is Moise Kean will not be an Everton player come the 2021/22 season.
