🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Beto’s Everton Future Under Fresh Threat as Fiorentina Circle Striker
Everton striker Beto has once again become the centre of transfer speculation, with Serie A side Fiorentina reportedly showing interest in the Portuguese-born forward as the summer transfer window approaches its final stages. The latest development has raised fresh questions over whether the 28-year-old will remain at Everton beyond the deadline.
Beto has been a regular subject of transfer rumours since arriving at Everton from Udinese in 2023. Despite showing flashes of his goalscoring ability, the striker has struggled to establish himself as an undisputed first-choice forward at Goodison Park and now faces another uncertain period in his Everton career.
According to recent reports, Fiorentina are considering Beto as a potential replacement for Moise Kean should the former Everton striker leave the Italian club. Sky Sports has also reported interest from Fiorentina, making the possibility of Beto returning to Italy one of the stories to watch during the closing days of the transfer window.
Beto’s position at Everton
The situation has become more complicated following the emergence of Thierno Barry as an important attacking option for David Moyes. Barry started Everton’s opening Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace, while Beto came off the bench during the 2–0 victory.
That decision has naturally increased speculation about Beto’s role. Everton currently have Beto and Barry as their main natural No. 9 options, meaning selling Beto without securing another striker would leave Moyes with limited depth in the position.
This is why the club’s decision could be extremely important. While Everton may be willing to listen to offers, allowing Beto to leave without bringing in another forward could create a significant problem during a long Premier League campaign.
Reports earlier this month suggested Everton could even be prepared to allow Beto to leave on a free transfer next summer if they cannot find the right solution during the current window. Former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness previously claimed the club would be reluctant to sell Beto immediately because of the lack of depth in attack.
Fiorentina interest grows
Fiorentina’s interest gives Beto a potential route back to Italian football, where he previously made his name with Udinese. The striker’s physical strength, pace and ability to attack crosses could make him an attractive option for the Serie A side if they need to replace Kean.
However, there is currently no indication that a transfer has been completed, and reports suggest the situation remains at the interest stage rather than being an imminent agreement.
Juventus have also been mentioned in connection with Beto, with reports claiming the player has been offered to the Italian giants. However, previous discussions have not resulted in a deal, particularly because of Everton’s valuation and the preference of interested clubs for loan arrangements.
Everton facing a major decision
For David Moyes, Beto’s situation represents a difficult balancing act.
Everton have already invested heavily in strengthening their squad this summer, adding players including Brennan Johnson, Christian Nørgaard, Hayden Hackney, Tyrique George and Merlin Röhl.
The club are also entering a new era at their new stadium and have ambitions of improving on last season’s Premier League campaign. Everton began the new season positively, defeating Crystal Palace 2–0, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry scoring the goals.
Moyes will therefore have to decide whether Beto remains an important squad player or whether a suitable offer should be considered before the deadline.
The striker’s Premier League numbers have improved over time, but his overall position has remained uncertain. Recent reports note that he scored nine league goals last season, a respectable contribution but one that has not been enough to guarantee him a starting role.
Beto still has an opportunity
Despite the transfer rumours, Beto still has an opportunity to change the story on the pitch.
Everton face Preston North End in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, August 26, and Beto is expected to be one of the players attracting attention. Current match information lists the striker as a potential goalscorer, highlighting the expectation that he could have a role to play in the fixture.
A strong performance and a goal could immediately change the mood around his future. For a striker whose confidence is closely connected to regular playing time, an important contribution could provide a timely reminder of what he can offer Everton.
At the same time, every appearance could also increase his value to clubs watching him.
What happens next?
With the transfer window approaching its final week, Beto’s future is expected to remain under close observation.
Everton have no obvious reason to rush into a sale, particularly because the squad lacks significant depth at centre-forward. However, if Fiorentina or another interested club presents an offer that satisfies Everton and gives Moyes enough time to find a replacement, the situation could change quickly.
For now, Beto remains an Everton player, but his future is far from certain.
The coming days could determine whether the powerful striker begins another chapter at Hill Dickinson Stadium or prepares for a return to Italian football. Fiorentina’s interest has added another layer to the growing uncertainty, while Beto himself has the perfect opportunity to respond on the pitch.
For Everton supporters, the biggest question is simple: will Beto remain a key part of Moyes’ plans, or will the striker finally leave the club after three years of uncertainty?
One thing is clear—the Beto transfer story is not over yet, and with the deadline approaching, the next few days could bring another major twist.
