Manchester United has identified Fiorentina frontman Moise Kean, formerly Van Everton, as a potential transfer target this summer, but his release clause is only valid for fourteen days
Manchester United has two weeks left to decide on Moise Kean, whose £ 44 million release clause will only last fourteen days, because Ruben Amorim will weigh his options in the last third part.
The club wants to bring in a new No. 9 after seeing Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee – two men who could leave the club – fail to meet expectations. Kean has been identified as a possible signing after an impressive year with Fiorentina.
He scored 19 goals and added three assists last season in 32 Serie A matches when the Florence Club insured a European place. They hope they keep Kean, but the Italian has a release clause, but it is only active in the first two weeks of July, Corriere Dello Sport reports.
It means that United is on the clock if they want to lock his price. After that, Fiorentina would be free to name their own figure, which would complicate negotiations.
Old Trafford bosses have already seen how easily a transfer can be made by a release clause with the £ 62.5 million compensation that was activated in the Wolven contract of Matheus Cunha. As a result, they were able to quickly close a deal with the Brazilian who was left behind their only summer recruitment.
Conversely, Brentford has been able to dig their heels when it comes to Bryan Mbeumo, who is also on their radar. The bees have already rejected various bids for the Cameroon Forward and United will have to pay more than for Cunha if they want to land him.
A striker out and off is also on their radar, hence their interest in Kean. The attacker previously underwent a miserable time in England when he was in Everton's books. During his time at the Toffees, he only succeeded in four goals in 39 games between 2019 and 2022.
Since then he has rebuilt his reputation at PSG and then back in Italy. His exploits have also attracted the attention of the Saudi side Al Qadsiah, but it remains unclear whether he would be open to a move to the middle, while Amorim still has to make an offer for a striker. He was enthusiastic about Liam Delap before he went to Chelsea.
One of Kean's lowest moments on the English soil came to Old Trafford when the then interimal Everton manager Duncan Ferguson only replaced him 18 minutes after he brought him during a match against United, which ended in a draw.
