Everton striker Beto has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside club, with recent reports linking him with Juventus.
According to a report by Football Insider, Beto old wants to leave Everton, and the Merseyside club would be willing to sanction his departure for a fee of around £26 million. The Toffees paid a similar amount to sign the player, and they want to recoup most of it.
The 26-year-old has done reasonably well for the English club, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. There is no doubt that he could be a key player for the right team.
Meanwhile, Everton are lacking in depth in the attacking unit, and it will be interesting to see if they can replace him adequately. The striker recently scored a last-gasp goal against Fulham to earn a valuable point for his side.
He has not been a regular starter for Everton this season with Dominic Calvert-Lewin ahead of him in the pecking order. The striker wants to play regularly and an exit from Everton would be ideal for all parties.
The former Udinese striker has proven his quality in Italy in the past, and it will be interesting to see if he can return to Italian football in the coming months. Beto has started just 14 matches for Everton so far, and he has seven goals to his name.
A fresh start beckons?
It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to provide Beto with an exit route. The 26-year-old could be a useful acquisition for most teams. However, it will be difficult for Everton to recoup £26 million for him. He has not been a regular starter for them, and clubs will be aware of the fact that the Toffees are desperate to sell.
Beto’s suitors will look to take advantage of the situation and sign the Guinea-Bisau international for a knockdown price. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. The 26-year-old will be desperate to get his career back on track with regular football, and that is simply not possible while he is still at Everton.
