Report: £16m Everton star ‘forcefully’ informs David Moyes of desire to leave after new bid submitted
Everton secure crucial three points with a 1-0 victory over Brighton on the south coast.
David Moyes’ Everton side sit seven points clear of the relegation zone as they prepare for a crucial clash against Leicester City this weekend.
Moyes has managed to restore positivity around Goodison Park, with fans feeling more optimistic about securing Premier League survival ahead of the club’s move to Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
However, the manager is well aware that his squad needs reinforcements, and he hopes to bring in two signings before the transfer window closes in a week.
With Everton’s ongoing financial issues and Premier League Profit and Sustainability (PSR) regulations, the club must operate on a sell-to-buy basis. One player desperate to leave has already informed Moyes of his intentions.
Beto in Heated Talks Over Everton Exit
According to Tuttosport, Moyes has told the Everton board that Beto is not part of his plans.
The manager has been forced to play the striker due to Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s injury rather than out of choice.
Moyes has made it clear that he wants a new striker this month, with Rangers’ Hamza Igamane linked to Goodison Park.
Beto, frustrated with his lack of playing time, has reportedly “forcefully” informed Moyes and Everton officials that he wants to leave.
The Italian outlet claims Torino has submitted a £12.5m bid for the forward, but Everton previously stated they would not sanction a sale for less than £16m.
However, a loan deal with a £15m option to buy could reportedly seal the transfer.
Everton Should Cut Their Losses on Beto
Beto’s departure has been on the cards for weeks, and it’s clear his time at Everton is nearing an end.
However, the Toffees’ high valuation has delayed the deal, leaving Moyes without funds to strengthen his squad.
Everton must find a compromise with Torino to ensure they generate funds for reinforcements.
Movement on this deal seems likely in the next 48 hours, as the Toffees cannot afford to let the situation drag on further.
