Jose Mourinho wants Everton player as transfer approach now made – report

Beto, the Portuguese striker, may be leaving Everton after just one season, with Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce showing significant interest in signing him. According to Sabah, a Turkish outlet, Fenerbahce has already made contact with the 26-year-old, who has been a long-term target for the Super Lig side.

Beto joined Everton in August 2023 for £25.8 million, but his first season at Goodison Park was underwhelming, scoring only five goals across 37 appearances in all competitions. However, he still ended the season as the third-highest scorer in a side that struggled to find the back of the net.Despite his modest goal tally, Beto’s departure would be a significant blow to Everton, who are already facing a hectic summer transfer window.

The Toffees are expected to offload high-value players to alleviate financial worries, and losing Beto would add to their transfer woes.Moreover, Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s future at Everton is uncertain, with the England forward entering the final year of his contract. If Calvert-Lewin leaves, Beto would be thrust into the limelight as the first-choice striker, a role that would require him to deliver consistent goal-scoring performances.

While Beto’s inaugural season at Everton was disappointing, he has the potential to rack up double figures worth of goals if given the starts and service.

His reliable attacking output would be a welcome addition to Sean Dyche’s side, who struggled to find consistency in front of goal last season.Fenerbahce’s interest in Beto is not surprising, given his talent and potential. Jose Mourinho is keen to add to his attacking line, and Beto’s arrival would be a significant coup for the Turkish side.

However, Everton may be reluctant to let him go, especially if they cannot recoup the fee they paid for him last August.The potential departure of Beto adds to Everton’s transfer conundrum, with Manchester United also reportedly interested in signing Jarrad Branthwaite for £50 million. The Toffees are facing a summer of uncertainty, and the loss of Beto would only exacerbate their transfer woes.
