# Everton: ‘Difficult to imagine’ Moise Kean return

**Moise Kean’s brother admits that it is ‘difficult to imagine’ the striker returning to Everton at the end of his loan spell with Paris Saint-Germain.**

Everton signed the Italy international from Juventus in August 2019 for an initial fee of [£25.1m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49214067) but he endured a difficult debut season on Merseyside, scoring [only two goals in 33 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.com/moise-kean/leistungsdaten/spieler/364135/saison/2019/plus/1) across all competitions.

### PSG get the best out of Kean

The Blues opted to loan him out at the end of the 2020 summer transfer window and it was PSG who secured a deal for him.

He has spectacularly rediscovered his scoring touch in the French capital, netting [18 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moise-kean/leistungsdaten/spieler/364135). In PSG’s star-studded ranks, [only Kylian Mbappe](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/paris-st-germain/top-scorers) can boast a higher goal tally (31).

### ‘Even if he has a contract’ Kean probably won’t go back to Everton

Some Everton fans may be licking their lips at the prospect of a revitalised Kean re-entering the Goodison Park fold next season, but his brother Giovanni thinks that his future lies elsewhere. He is hopeful that the 21-year-old goes back to Turin, where he spent nine years before moving to Merseyside.

“I think it’s difficult to imagine him returning to Everton, even if he has a contract with them,” Giovanni Kean told [Tuttosport](https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/calciomercato/2021/04/18-80905892/kean_e_la_juve_il_fratello_svela_un_dettaglio_sul_futuro).

“I can ensure he is very happy at PSG. Anything can happen in football. As a Juventus fan, I hope he returns to Juventus.”

### Transfer Tavern verdict

Kean struggled at Everton, his woes [peaking](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/50797527) when Duncan Ferguson brought him on and then substituted him against Manchester United. Having thrived at Champions League-chasing PSG, he might not want to go back to Goodison Park.

The good news for the Toffees is that he will [still have three years left](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49214067) on his contract come the summer, and they will be within their rights to slap a substantial price tag on him.

If PSG, or indeed Juventus, decide to pay a large transfer fee, Everton can then reinvest in weaker areas of their squad. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has shown he is more than good enough to be the long-term number nine at Goodison.
