Moise Kean’s agent, Mino Raiola, is ‘unhappy with situation’ at Everton and is looking for a January exit, according to Calciomercato.com.
According to the Italian football news outlet, the Italian-born Dutch agent is angling for a January exit for the Italian striker (via Sport Witness).
With an apparently weak relationship between Kean and Marco Silva and the lack of game time the 19-year-old has had, the Italian may be on the move (as per Calciomercato.com).
Where would he go?
The rumour has come, in part, from the striker’s lack of game time for the Merseyside club, having made only four starts for Silva in league and cup this term (per Transfermarkt).
As such, the 52-year-old agent has, reportedly, spoken to one of the clubs who were interested in signing the 19-year-old in the summer when the Toffees beat them to him for £27.5 million (per BBC).
Raiola has supposedly been in talks with AC Milan over a move back to the Serie A for Kean, with discussions between the agent and the key figures of Zvonimir Boban and Paolo Maldini already taken place (as per Calciomercato.com).
TiF Tactics – Would Kean fit in the Rossoneri?
By way of strikers, AC Milan already have three at their disposal, with Ante Rebic, Rafael Leao and Krzysztof Piatek already within their ranks (per Transfermarkt).
Closest to Kean in terms of age is Portuguese 20-year-old, Leao, who has made nine Serie A appearances so far this term (via Whoscored).
Similarly to Everton’s 19-year-old, who is valued at £36 million (Transfermarkt), a number of those have been substitute appearances, meaning Leao will be the Italian’s direct competition.
For Silva this term, the 19-year-old has a 6.18/10 average rating, whereas Leao has a narrowly better 6.64/10 for the Rossoneri (via Whoscored).
The Portuguese striker also outperforms Kean in terms of an average of 1.2 shots per game, where Kean has 1.0, and an average of 1.0 key passes per game, where the Italian has 0.3 (per Whoscored).
Therefore, the Italian giants should probably look elsewhere if they are looking to add another striker to their ranks, based on this season’s form, as they already have a better substitute attacker right under their noses.
