Man Utd’s striker hunt has led them to Moise Kean.
- Former Everton flop is thriving with Fiorentina in Serie A
- Barcelona links with Italy international established
Manchester United’s eagerness to sign a striker this summer is seemingly leading them to consider options beyond the likes of Viktor Gyokeres and Liam Delap.
Gyokeres is perhaps the most talked about striker on the market as the transfer window nears, by virtue of his 52 goals for Sporting CP. Ruben Amorim’s presence in Manchester make it an obvious move for the Swede, but competition is likely to be rife.
Delap is available for a fixed £30m fee following Ipswich Town’s relegation. But as a raw and largely unpolished talent, is a very different kind of target altogether.
Moise Kean is not a name that has been linked with United before. But the former Juventus, Everton and Paris Saint-Germain forward has become a figure of interest after getting his career back on track since joining Fiorentina last summer.
Only Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui (24) has scored more goals in Serie A than Kean (17) this season. That Manchester United have added the Italian to their list of options.
Kean was earmark as a superstar of the future. When he debuted for Juventus at the age of 16 almost nine years ago. His time at Everton during the Covid-19-plagued 2019/20 season was a bit of a disaster and it has taken him until now to really find his feet and thrive.
The 25-year-old is said to have a €50m (£42.5m) release clause in his Fiorentina contract. That is active during the first two weeks of July. But Bayern Munich are described in the aforemention report as also “closely monitoring” Kean, while he หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ has recently link with Barcelona in the past.
Kean appears to be an option of middle-ground compromise for United, more proven and experienced than Delap. But more affordable than Gyokeres, particularly if the club doesn’t qualify for next season’s Champions League by winning the Europa League later this month.
