MILAN (AP) — Juventus has announced the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and secured his replacement. The Italian club says Moise Kean is returning on a two-year loan deal from Everton with an obligation to buy him subject to meeting certain targets. The Italy forward will cost $8.3 million over two seasons and $33 million for a permanent transfer. Kean started his professional career at Juventus in 2016. He moved to Everton in 2019 but never held down a regular starting spot and went out on loan to Paris Saint-Germain last season. Kean will replace Ronaldo. The Portugal star joined Manchester United.
