Everton are playing hardball with Juventus over their plans for on-loan striker Moise Kean.

Il Corriere dello Sport says Everton are refusing to give Juventus a discount on their loan-to-buy obligation for Kean.

Halfway through the two-year loan deal the Blues agreed with Juventus for him last summer, the Italians are asking for the agreed price (€28m) to be lowered.

But Everton are refusing to budge on their pre-agreed fee.

The Italian side will now look for a third club to take on Kean, and buy them out of their agreement.
