Moise Kean is close to signing his first professional contract with Juventus, despite interest from Manchester City and Arsenal.
The 16-year-old striker has been in sensational form for the primavera team and has recently been called up to the first team squad for a number of matches.
Reports in Italy and the UK suggested that a number of Premier League sides were interested in signing the young Ivorian talent who can agree terms outside of Italy.
Corriere dello Sport suggest that agent Mino Raiola has now agreed a deal with the Bianconeri which will see Kean sign his first professional contract with Juventus in January.
I have never seen the guy play. Only read good things about him. I will wait until I have decided whether this is a good deal or not.
We need a forward that is for sure. If he is going to get playing time or the club is just aiming to cash in on him. Either way is fine with me. As long as the club benefits from it, I am happy.
BUT, if he is going to rotten on the bench and just get a 5 minute here and there and feature in the early rounds of Copa Italia, then it is not fair against the lad. He is still young and needs to play to be able to grow and develop as a player and a human being. Allegri has to dare more. Stop being so cautious and “boring”. That’s what I think anyhow, but hey I am not the coach or some expert. Just some regular Joe sitting in campus and typing on the keyboard.
Hes 16, he has plenty of time. Trust me. Being around champions will motivate him enough, at the very least. Ruganis development is similar.
I have seen a lot of him, VK. He is class. At first I assumed that it was simply his physical superiority, but I was wrong. He plays against lads larger than him often, not just often. Has quick feet, great pace and his eye for goal is natural and instinctive. He scores a fair amount of drives and 6 yard being in the right place at the right time, and he is also impressive running with the ball.
There is nothing presently to cash in. He remains on a youth contract, and can only sign his first professional contract with his parents permission, until he turns 18, then its up to Raiola! Therein lies the problem, for whilst he cannot legally act as what they now call an intermediary until Bioty hits 18, he has definitely weaseled his way into the story, as an advisor, unpaid yet with some sway, some agreement in place…
The Devil ™ lines us up with Moise for a few years as a token gesture, whist arranging for the keeping of the bench warm for him at RM, MU, MC or Barca in the mean time ready for when he masterminds his move away in a few years – despite protestations in the press that he “really wants to stay…..”
Pogba saga pt2 is coming folks.
Thats how we make our money i guess
Only obvious issue with this news is that…we have heard (I have written the same myself on here) the exact same news since January of this year. If anything, it seems rumours of yet another delay, or confirmation that an impasse remains. Else he would have signed last February when he hit 16.
