Father of Arsenal and Man City target warns Juve: ‘He could leave as a free agent’

21 giu 2017

Juventus staret Moise Kean is one of Italy’s most promising strikers alongside Genoa’s Pietro Pellegri. Both strikers have already netted their first Serie A goals despite being 17-year-old only. Manchester City are interested in signing both Serie A starlets, whilst Arsenal are keeping a close eye on the Juventus starlet who is said to be close to agreeing a contract extension with the Old Lady but the player’s father believes a deal is not as close as media say. Kean’s parents are divorced and Moise has grown up with his mum and his brother Giovanni.

“Juventus have offered my son € 700.000-a-year and in the past I prevented Raiola from taking my son in England. Juventus had promised me they would have helped me to return to Africa but they never did that and now Moise could leave as a free agent,” Biorou Jean told Tuttosport.

“I am the owner of many lands in Cote d’Ivoire and I’d like to go back there to cultivate rice and corn. I am an agronomist and I asked Juventus to provide me some tools to go back to Africa and work there. They told me: ‘No problem’, but in the end their lawyer told me my demands were out of their budget.”

As for Mino Raiola, the player’s agent, Kean’s father said: “I’ve never allowed him to be the agent of my son. If I had to decide the right agent for my son I wouldn’t have picked Raiola.”
