Many in Florence turned their noses up at the name of Moise Kean. Because he had come from three years where he didn’t even get close to double figures, not even close. Five goals in the league in 2021-22, six in 2022-23, even a melancholy zero score last season, compared to nineteen games. Twenty in total, considering the Italian Cup (won, but certainly not as a protagonist), and the feeling that something had broken with Juventus, despite his very young age and thirteen goals in twenty-six appearances, four years ago, with Paris Saint Germain . It still remains to be understood why the Bianconeri bet on him again after selling him (and well) to Everton, but these are the paths of football, at times unfathomable and uncatchable.
That’s it: 13 million plus 5 million in bonuses, complete with salamelecchi for having sold him for such a high sum. However, Kean has never been the unmovable starter, the one everyone is counting on and can even wait for. Fiorentina is doing it and they are right: eight goals in eleven games, the hat-trick against Hellas Verona is extraordinary, the second place in the league table for the Viola makes us dream. After Vlahovic it is strange that an attacker has followed the reverse path, from Juventus to Tuscany. Maybe it was just a question of aiming for it concretely, without too much pressure which, in Florence, still exists.
