Moise Kean is back in the transfer spotlight, with reports in Italy linking the Fiorentina striker to a possible move to Saudi side Al-Hilal.
Simone Inzaghi is said to be an admirer, with the former Inter coach looking at Kean as a potential attacking option in Riyadh.
However, the reports also suggest any move could depend on Al-Hilal’s own squad plans, including the future of Marcos Leonardo.
Fiorentina, for their part, are not believed to be keen sellers mid-season and have set out clear financial terms.
Moise Kean: why Simone Inzaghi wants Fiorentina striker at Al-Hilal
Moise Kean is on Al-Hilal’s shortlist if Marcos Leonardo leaves, according to Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto.
Al-Hilal are looking for an outgoing deal for Leonardo, who has previously been linked with Lazio and Roma.
Simone Inzaghi, the Saudi club’s manager, is among those pushing the idea of bringing Kean in as a replacement.

Kean has proven himself at the highest levels, playing and scoring regularly in Serie A, France’s Ligue 1 and the English Premier League.
The Fiorentina ace is quick, powerful, and can play on the shoulder of defenders or attack space in transition.
Inzaghi’s teams have often relied on forwards who can stretch defences and work hard without the ball, and Kean fits that mould.
Moise Kean: Fiorentina’s price tag and January chances
Moise Kean is not considered unsellable by Fiorentina, but at the same time, they’re in no rush to sell him.
Fiorentina have apparently ‘fixed’ their stance. They will not discuss a deal below the value of Kean’s release clause, reported as €62m.
Several Italian outlets have also stressed Fiorentina’s preference is to keep Kean, unless something unexpected forces a change.
As things stand, Al-Hilal are just monitoring proceedings, but if Marcos Leonardo does leave, things could pick up.
At the same time, the Saudi club will need to match Fiorentina’s valuation. They will surely not want to lose a key player mid-season.
In other Viola news, the relationship between Fiorentina and Luca Ranieri could soon come to an end.
Fiorentina also like Yannis Massolin, the Modena midfielder whose style of play is reminiscent of Adrien Rabiot.
