And Italian Football TV claimed on Thursday evening a transfer “with an obligation to buy” the 20-year-old could be “finalized in the coming hours” .
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is said to now back the deal, despite suggestions club chiefs hoped to sign a replacement first.
Yet Juve have had to dig deep to fund the move as the coronavirus lockdown hit their finances hard.
The Italian giants offloaded Blaise Matuidi, Miralem Pjanic and Gonzalo Higuain in the summer.
So that mean Kean would be instantly pressing Paulo Dybala for his role as Cristiano Ronaldo’s strikepartner.
Kean’s Everton career never took off but veered downwards fast in April when he breached coronavirus guidelines with a lockdown lap-dancing party.
Goodison chiefs put out a statement saying: “Everton Football Club was appalled to learn of an incident in which a first-team player ignored government guidance and club policy in relation to the coronavirus crisis.
“The club has strongly expressed its disappointment to the player and made it clear that such actions are completely unacceptable.”
