Beto Expresses Desire to Depart Everton in January Transfer Window

According to recent reports, Everton’s Portuguese striker Beto has communicated his intention to leave the club during the upcoming January transfer window. The former Udinese player is said to be keen on returning to Serie A, where he previously enjoyed success.

Beto, who joined Everton in a high-profile move, has struggled to secure regular playing time this season, managing only 349 minutes on the pitch. This limited involvement has apparently prompted the striker to seek opportunities elsewhere.

Torino has emerged as a potential destination for Beto, with the Italian club looking to bolster their attacking options following an injury to their star forward Duvan Zapata. The Serie A side is reportedly interested in securing Beto on a short-term loan until the end of the season.

Sources suggest that Torino is prepared to offer between €3-4 million for the loan, along with covering approximately €3.5 million in gross wages. However, Everton’s preference appears to be a loan with an obligation to buy for around €20 million, a figure that Torino is reluctant to meet.

The situation remains fluid, with Torino hoping that Beto’s desire to return to Italy might influence Everton’s stance. Meanwhile, the Italian club is also considering alternatives, including Inter Milan’s Marko Arnautovic and Napoli’s Giovanni Simeone, should a deal for Beto fail to materialize.

As the January transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on how this potential move develops, with Beto’s future at Everton hanging in the balance.
