Serie A interest from Como and Fiorentina makes a Beto exit likely, which could reshape Everton’s attack. For punters, expect goal markets and anytime-scorer odds to change: back Thierno Barry for anytime scorer and monitor Everton’s goals line (over/under 1.5) if no proven striker arrives before the window closes.
Everton weigh up Beto exit as Serie A clubs register interest
Everton face renewed pressure up front after Serie A sides Como and Fiorentina signalled concrete interest in striker Beto. The 27-year-old’s potential departure looks increasingly likely this window, with the club reportedly willing to allow him to find a new employer.
Manager David Moyes is believed to have given the green light for a move, reflecting a recognition that the transfer has not delivered the required returns. Everton’s recruitment plans hinge on turning that interest into a formal offer.
Beto’s output fails to match expectations
Since arriving at Goodison Park in 2023, Beto has struggled to deliver the goals Everton need. This season he has scored three times in 25 appearances and started only eight Premier League games, a return that underlines a mismatch between his wages, expectations and on-field impact. Those numbers are a key reason the club are open to a sale.
The critical need for attacking reinforcements
Everton’s wider scoring problems have intensified the urgency. The side have managed just 24 goals in 22 Premier League matches this campaign, placing relentless pressure on the defence and stalling any sustained climb up the table. The board see selling Beto as a route to free funds for a more clinical forward.
Thierno Barry has emerged as Moyes’ current first-choice striker after a timely scoring run. The 23-year-old has netted three times in his last five appearances across competitions, including the winner in a recent 1-0 victory over Aston Villa. Despite Barry’s form, the club remain intent on adding proven firepower to reduce reliance on a single in-form forward.
Transfer strategy and timing concerns
Everton’s recruitment is constrained: no replacement signing is likely until a departure is finalised. That creates a race against time to convert interest from Como or Fiorentina into a deal. The club aim to move an underperforming high-earner off the wage bill while securing funds for a striker who can finish chances consistently.
Failure to conclude negotiations quickly risks leaving Everton short of attacking options as the window closes, potentially affecting results and the team’s league position. Clubs and bettors alike will be watching developments closely in the coming days.
