Ahead of Juventus’ 2-1 loss to Genoa, Pavel Nedved underlined that he’s hoping Moise Kean can score 25 goals a season, something which seems impossible to imagine at the moment.
The 22-year-old Italian forward re-joined the Bianconeri last summer following Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure, joining on a €7m two-year loan deal with a €28m obligation to buy clause attached, plus €3m in add-ons. This means that his future in Turin is secure and there is no return to Everton planned.
As highlighted by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the debate surrounding Kean isn’t related to his future but how he’ll manage to score 25 goals a season, or at least an acceptable amount for a Juventus forward.
The 22-year-old Kean has only scored five goals in 30 Serie A appearances this season and the most he’s ever scored in a single league campaign came last season, when he scored 13 for Paris Saint-Germain.
The Italian forward will have to transition into being a clinical wide forward as there’s little chance now that he’ll displace Dusan Vlahovic in the centre of the attack.
