A crucial period is approaching in the future of Moise Kean at Fiorentina, and AC Milan are not yet out of the picture.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (via ViolaNews) reports that behind a seemingly calm atmosphere, Kean’s future has entered its decisive phase. With Mateo Retegui’s imminent departure from European football to Al Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia), the scenario for the Fiorentina striker has changed.

A move to Saudi, at least for now, is not in the plans of the Italian striker as he has decided not to consider offers from that market. Everything will be decided in a crucial 48 hours: between Monday July 14th and Tuesday July 15th, his €52m release clause will expire.
Kean eyed by Milan and Manchester United
In the Premier League, Manchester United remains vigilant. The Viktor Gyökeres option (heading for Arsenal) has almost completely faded away, so the Red Devils are evaluating new attacking solutions and Kean represents a suitable profile to rejuvenate the department.
In Italy, however, attention is on Milan. Despite the denials, Kean’s name remains on the radar, and his relationship with Massimiliano Allegri – who launched him at Juventus and continues to hold him in high regard – could play a role.
The Rossoneri are looking for a versatile second striker, preferably Italian, and Kean’s name could come back into the frame at the last minute. In the meantime, Fiorentina have already made their move: a renewal until 2029 is ready, with a pay rise to €4m net per season.
It is a clear sign of the club and president Commisso’s desire to focus heavily on him. For now, Kean is and remains a Viola player. But time is running out, and with that clause things could accelerate.
Interesting, because he’s not a target man.
Not everyone that Max has coached liked him. It’s interesting to see the names being rumoured because irrc they didn’t have a good relationship with Max 🤷♂️
Why would Fiorentina sell Kean? Are they pinning their hopes on 39yo Dzeko?
And even Fiorentina is high and will sell, in what physical universe do we expect Milan to spend 35mil on Jashari AND whatever it takes to sign Kean???
Stop it with these nonsense storylines… Christ.
This is contradictory to what Tare said regarding the profile of attacker needed. Keane is not even close to that profile. Pretty sure it will be one of Vlahovic and Boniface.
Speaking of Retegui, that clown Gravina just said that because of Retegui’s transfer to Al Qadsiah, he isn’t going to be 1st choice for the NT anymore because of the lack of competitiveness in that league.
Like Italy has a big pool of quality strikers they can choose from so they can afford to discard Retegui. They were in so dire need of a striker that they import Retegui from Argentina in the 1st place.
CR7 is 40 and has played in Arabia for 2,3 years and he still starts and scores for Portugal.
Mitrovic still balls out for Serbia.
Kante balled out for France in the last Euro.
No worries, Italy has Pio Esposito.
I have a gut feeling that if we sign him he flops.
