Juventus to drop Morata permanent option and focus on Everton striker Kean

Juventus are ready to focus everything on signing Everton striker Moise Kean this summer.

Juve are prioritising re-signing the Italy international, who has been outstanding on-loan this season with PSG.

Indeed so much so, reports Tuttosport via Le 10 Sport, that Juve will pass on a permanent option for on-loan Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata in order to use the €35m fee to buy back Kean.

Morata is on-loan at Juve for the season, with the deal carrying a permanent option. But it's now emerging that Juve chiefs are prepared to send him back to Madrid if they can bring Kean back to Turin this summer.

Kean left Juve two years ago for the same €35m valuation, but Everton are expected to demand more to sell the youngster.

PSG, meanwhile, are also keen to keep hold of the striker next season.

So far this season, Kean has scored 17 goals in 33 appearances for PSG.
