While Manchester United continue their hunt for a reliable striker, one familiar name from the Premier League is back on their radar—Moise Kean.
The Italian forward, who once struggled to make an impact at Everton, has turned heads again after a standout season in Serie A.
Kean Shines at Fiorentina After Premier League Setback
After a rocky spell at Goodison Park, where expectations were high but results underwhelming, Kean has found new life at Fiorentina.
The 25-year-old scored an impressive 19 goals and registered three assists across 32 league matches last season.
His performance was a major factor in helping Fiorentina clinch a spot in European competition.
United Monitoring Kean’s Situation Closely
According to Italian outlet Gazzetta, Manchester United have started keeping a close watch on Kean’s progress.
With their current attacking options misfiring—particularly Rasmus Hojlund, who hasn’t quite lived up to the hype—United are exploring new possibilities up front. Kean, it seems, is quickly rising up their list.
A Release Clause and Some Saudi Competition
Kean reportedly has a release clause of around £44.5 million, making him a potentially affordable option for United’s summer rebuild.
However, they’re not the only ones interested.
Saudi club Al Qadsiah are also said to be circling, and while it’s not clear if Kean would consider a move to the Middle East, a big-money offer could prove tempting.
United’s Other Striker Targets Face Roadblocks
Erik ten Hag’s side hasn’t had the best luck in the transfer market lately when it comes to strikers.
Sporting Lisbon’s Victor Gyokeres, who previously worked under Ruben Amorim, is reportedly leaning towards a move to Arsenal instead.
Meanwhile, Liam Delap has already turned United down in favour of joining Chelsea.
Kean’s Bumpy First Stint in England
Kean’s last run in the Premier League wasn’t memorable for the right reasons.
After joining Everton as a highly rated teenager, he failed to live up to the hype.
Struggles with form, adaptation, and attitude led to a turbulent time, including the infamous moment when then-interim boss Duncan Ferguson subbed him off just 18 minutes after bringing him on—ironically during a match against Manchester United.
A Career That’s Come Full Circle
After his short-lived Everton spell, Kean had more productive runs elsewhere—first at Paris Saint-Germain on loan, then at Juventus.
Now, with his confidence and form restored at Fiorentina, he’s once again being linked with a Premier League giant.
