It appears to be just a matter of time before the highly-rated Moise Kean makes his move to Everton.

Juventus have reached an agreement to sell the Italian forward to the Merseyside club for an initial fee of £29 million (€32 million), according to the The Guardian's Fabrizio Romano.

The 19-year-old is expected to travel to England and undergo a medical on Wednesday, Romano adds.

The initial fee - which matches what Everton reportedly earned from the sale of Idrissa Gueye to PSG on Tuesday - could rise to €40 million (£35.7 million) in add-ons.

Everton have reportedly avoided an arrangement which would have included a buy-back clause.

Instead of a buy-back option, Juventus will be notified if Everton decide to sell Kean - who will earn £2.75M per year with the Toffees - and will have the option to match bids from other clubs, Romano reports.

Kean began last season in relative obscurity before catching the football world's attention with six goals in seven appearances near the tail end of the campaign. That impressive display earned him a call-up to the Italian national team.

Although he created a buzz at the Allianz Stadium, Kean's future in Turin appeared unsustainable due to the abundance of talented players ahead of him on Juventus' depth chart.
