In a summer shaping up to be full of twists and big moves, FC Barcelona have surprisingly added Moise Kean to their list of transfer targets. According to Tuttosport, the young Italian striker has caught the eye of the Catalan giants, and a deal could materialize quickly.
Reports suggest that Barcelona are closely monitoring Kean’s situation, especially his release clause, which is only active from July 1st to 15th — a short window that could spark rapid negotiations if Barça decide to act.
Currently at Juventus, Kean’s career has seen its share of ups and downs — from being a teenage sensation at Juve to less consistent spells at Everton and PSG. Despite the turbulence, his undeniable potential remains, and Barcelona might view this as the perfect moment to reignite his career at the highest level.
Sources close to the club reveal that Barcelona are searching for affordable reinforcements in attack, and Kean fits the bill: young, battle-tested in Europe’s top leagues, and available for a price the financially-strapped club could realistically manage — especially if they generate funds through player sales.
What makes Kean especially appealing isn’t just his price or availability. His ability to play across the frontline offers the tactical flexibility that new coach Hansi Flick highly values. With uncertainty surrounding the futures of Ferran Torres and Raphinha, Flick is said to be seeking more pace and physicality in the final third — traits Kean possesses in abundance.
Barcelona’s interest in Kean isn’t new either. Scouts followed him closely during his productive spell at PSG, where his explosive pace, strength, and clever movement unsettled defenders — the kind of attributes Barça often lacked against deep-lying opponents last season.
Although Kean struggled for consistent minutes under Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus, many insiders believe that a new environment, especially one as technically rich as Barcelona, could help him flourish under Flick’s guidance.
Strategically, Kean’s signing would also send a message. With Real Madrid and other La Liga rivals strengthening their squads, Barça know they must keep pace. Bringing in a motivated Kean would not only be a smart bet on talent but also a show of intent.
Kean is reportedly open to a move, especially if it means regular playing time and Champions League football — opportunities Barcelona can offer, assuming they resolve their financial fair play challenges in time.
Commercially, Kean’s arrival could also enhance Barcelona’s global appeal, particularly in Italy and Africa, where the striker enjoys considerable popularity.
Of course, challenges remain. Barcelona must act quickly due to the short release clause window, and Juventus could still offer Kean a new contract or involve him in other deals.
Nonetheless, if Barcelona succeed, signing Kean could prove to be one of the shrewdest moves of the summer: a young, hungry striker joining a legendary club ready for a fresh start under a new coach. It’s a storyline full of potential.
The coming weeks will reveal whether this bold move becomes a reality — but for now, Moise Kean is firmly on Barcelona’s radar, and the excitement is building.
