AC Milan manager Max Allegri has made £27m Everton flop his dream signing this summer
Everton’s Mixed Transfer Record Highlighted as Former Flop Becomes AC Milan Target
Over the past decade, Everton’s transfer business—particularly during Farhad Moshiri’s ownership—has been marked by inconsistency. Despite significant investment in the early years of Moshiri’s tenure, many signings failed to deliver.
The likes of Yannick Bolasie, Sandro Ramirez, Cenk Tosun, and Jean-Philippe Gbamin all arrived with promise but ultimately failed to meet expectations at Goodison Park. Even Ademola Lookman, who showed flashes of talent, struggled to find his footing with the Toffees. Ironically, he has since emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting wingers at Atalanta and is now reportedly on Barcelona’s radar.
Now, another former Everton player is attracting major attention across Europe after a standout season.
AC Milan Eye Moise Kean After Resurgence in Italy
Moise Kean joined Everton from Juventus in 2019 for £27 million, carrying high hopes and a strong reputation. However, the striker’s time on Merseyside was underwhelming—he scored just four goals in 39 appearances before securing a permanent move away in 2023.
Since leaving, the 25-year-old has reignited his career with Fiorentina, where he enjoyed a breakthrough season, finishing as Serie A’s second-highest scorer. His stats for the campaign include:
- 44 appearances
- 25 goals
- 3 assists
Kean’s revival has now put him on the radar of AC Milan. According to Italian journalist Carlo Pellegatti, manager Massimiliano Allegri is a huge admirer of the striker and views him as a dream signing for the club.
“Allegri wants a forward who understands Serie A,” Pellegatti said. “He really likes Moise Kean—an Italian player who knows the league and would fit perfectly at Milan. He’s also close friends with Rafael Leão and would jump at the chance to join.”
Premier League Clubs Also Monitoring Kean
Kean’s resurgence hasn’t gone unnoticed in England either. Several Premier League sides are believed to be interested in bringing him back, including Manchester United, who are reportedly looking for a more consistent striker to support or replace Rasmus Højlund.
Kean’s journey serves as a stark reminder of Everton’s struggles in talent development—but also of the potential that can flourish under the right circumstances.
