Report: Everton exit talks stall in ‘terribly complicated’ transfer as priority update emerges
Torino reduce pace in Beto negotiations with Everton but keep him as a priority, reports Tuttosport.
The Italian outlet reported on 24 January that Torino is facing a “terribly complicated” winter transfer window but remains keen on signing 26-year-old Beto.
The Serie A side is exploring other options in the market but considers the Guinea-Bissau international a priority ahead of the 3 February deadline.
Torino still pursuing Everton forward Beto
The former Udinese striker has struggled to make an impact at Everton, yet links to a return to Serie A persist.
Clubs such as Juventus, Roma, and Como have reportedly expressed interest in bringing Beto back to Italy [Corriere dello Sport].
Everton, meanwhile, has multiple options to try and recover some of the £30m they spent on the forward in 2023 [BBC Sport].
However, with just eight goals across two seasons, Beto has fallen short of expectations, prompting the Toffees to consider cutting their losses.
Hopes of a fresh start under David Moyes have not materialized, with the striker featuring for only seven minutes of Premier League action since the new manager’s arrival.
This lack of opportunity suggests Beto’s time at Goodison Park is coming to an end.
As Torino continues to monitor the situation, a move back to Serie A appears increasingly likely for the struggling forward.
