Supporters of Everton have been reacting to a transfer rumour that has suggested that Real Madrid have an interest in signing Moise Kean.
According to Defensa Central, as cited by Sport Witness, the 19-year-old is on a list of possible replacements for Karim Benzema and Luka Jovic as the 19-year-old is one of Europe’s ‘great sensations’ (via The Gwladys Street), which had fans in disbelief.

Younger than Jovic makes it a small market surely

As the report stated, Kean is seen as a potential replacement for 32-year-old Benzema and 22-year-old Luka Jovic, who is only three years the senior of the Italian.
Having featured in 23 games in all competitions for the Merseyside club so far this term, during which Kean has scored one and assisted two (per Transfermarkt), some fans had opinions on the 19-year-old’s potential sale.
Maybe if we could swap him for Jovic seeing as he don’t get game time maybe that wouldn’t be so bad

Not for sale sorry

If we could recoup the fee I’d take their hands off. This guy is a dud.

CA will not allow this if his words he spoke this week are anywere near true

What do we think?
To put it bluntly, this one seems unlikely. While Benzema is in his peak years, Jovic still has youth on his side and both are performing better than Kean, in terms of average rating, this term.
Benzema is performing the best of the trio this season with an impressive 7.57/10 average rating, then followed by Jovic on an uninspiring 6.39/10, with Kean close behind on a 6.37/10 (as per WhoScored).
