Everton Striker Beto’s Future Uncertain as Agent Hints at January Exit
Everton’s £25.75m signing Beto may be headed for the exit door in January, according to his agent, Gabriele La Manna. The Guinea-Bissau striker has struggled to make an impact at Goodison Park, sparking speculation about his future.
Beto’s Disappointing Spell at Everton
Beto’s 43 appearances for the Toffees have yielded just six goals and two assists, falling short of expectations. Sky Sports reporter Alan Myers described him as a “huge disappointment” at Everton.
Agent Gabriele La Manna revealed that Beto’s high price tag and salary (around €3 million) pose significant obstacles to a potential transfer.
“Yes, he could return to Italy,” La Manna told Ok Calcio Mercato. “Beto is currently out of Everton’s main rotations, but the biggest problem is linked to the cost of his price tag.”
Italian Interest in Beto
AS Roma has expressed interest in signing Beto, following Atalanta’s summer pursuit. La Manna’s comments suggest a January move to Serie A could be on the cards.
Potential Ramifications of The Friedkin Group’s Takeover
The impending takeover of Everton by The Friedkin Group may influence Beto’s future. Their connections with Roma could facilitate a transfer, providing a resolution to the striker’s uncertain situation.
Expert Analysis
“Beto’s struggles at Everton have been evident,” said football analyst, Alex Turk. “A move back to Italy could revitalize his career, but Everton’s asking price may be a stumbling block.”
Fan Reaction
Everton supporters have taken to social media to share their thoughts:
“Beto’s departure would be no surprise; he’s not lived up to expectations.”
“Maybe a change of scenery will help Beto rediscover his form.”
Conclusion
Beto’s future at Everton hangs in the balance, with his agent hinting at a potential January exit. As the transfer window approaches, the striker’s situation will be closely monitored.
