Everton’s striker Beto is reportedly seeking a departure from the club after just one season, according to Italian outlet InterLive.it. The 26-year-old Portuguese player has managed five goals and two assists in 36 games, but has primarily been used as a substitute in the Premier League.
Beto’s agent is expected to take advantage of Everton’s current “very delicate corporate” situation, which includes uncertainty over the proposed takeover by 777 Partners and two points deductions for breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.
The agent may offer Beto to Serie A clubs, including Inter Milan and AC Milan, in the next transfer window. However, Inter Milan has already rejected the idea of signing Beto, and AC Milan may also decline the opportunity, even if Everton agrees to let him leave on loan with the option to buy.
Beto’s contract at Goodison Park runs until 2027, but the current circumstances may lead to an early exit. Everton’s financial struggles and the uncertainty surrounding the club’s ownership could make it difficult for the Toffees to retain their players, including Beto.
