Kean has been a breakout star this season for Juve with the 19-year-old's form earning him a maiden Italy call-up.

The striker broke an Italy team record which had stood for more than 60 years on his debut when he become the youngest player to score for the Azzuri after netting against Finland.  

Birou Jean Kean, the father of the Juventus academy product, spoke of his pride for his sons incredible achievements in an interview with Italian radio, but also revealed his anger at Juventus for not fulfilling their side of a deal which helped keep the upcoming talent in Italy.

“Moise supported Inter as a kid, because he loved Obafemi Martins and kept pestering me for his shirt. He played for Torino, but I sent him to Juve, because I am a Bianconeri fan," Jean Kean said,

“I am very happy for him, even if I have a problem with the club Juventus. They won’t give me any more tickets to the stadium. I am separated with Moise’s mother and she, in the past, wanted to move the lad to England.

“I promised Juve that I’d keep him in Italy, but wanted two tractors in return. They said it wouldn’t be a problem, but I haven’t received them yet, now they won’t give me tickets or even take my calls.”

However, Kean has been quick to distance himself from his fathers comments. 

“Tractors? I don’t know what you're talking about…” wrote the rising star wrote on Instagram.

“If I’m the man I am today, it’s thanks and only to my mother. With that, I’ve said everything!

“Never forget the person who fed you.”
