Fiorentina close to signing Juventus’ Moise Kean | OneFootball

Fiorentina have opened talks with Juventus striker Moise Kean, over a summer move to the Stadio Artemio Franchi as new coach Raffaele Palladino starts to construct his new-look side.

The 24-year-old, who returned to Turin last summer after an unsuccessful loan spell at Everton, had another campaign to forget last term following a shin injury that kept him sidelined for three months of the season.

Kean, who has 15 international caps for Italy, only played 650 minutes of top-flight football, but despite this, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano states that La Viola boss Raffaelle Palladino is ready to take a chance on resurrecting a career that promised so much in its early stages.

Romano quotes Matteo Moretto who claims that talks are now progressing, with the player himself keen on a switch to Tuscany.The fee is expected to be in the region of €12M with the two parties looking to finalise an agreement very soon.
