Beto player-swap transfer twist emerges at Everton in exit negotiations
Everton are currently in negotiations with Fenerbahce to sell Beto in the winter transfer window.
Beto’s agent is in Istanbul currently, and it looks like the striker is looking for a way out of the Toffees in January.
The Blues will surely be unwilling to see one of their two natural number nines depart in the coming weeks without signing a replacement.
Fenerbahce have already sent an offer for Beto, and it seems like the Merseyside outfit have proposed a counter that would surely benefit them.
Everton request Youssef En-Nesyri in Beto exit negotiations
During talks over Beto’s possible departure to Fenerbahce, the Toffees have asked about Youssef En-Nesyri, according to Yagiz Sabuncuoglu.
The Sports Digitale journalist revealed an update on 23 January, claiming that the Blues are open to a swap deal between the Guinea-Bissau international and the 92-cap Moroccan striker at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
It’s been claimed that the Super Lig club have already agreed terms with Juventus for the former Sevilla star’s transfer, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
Moyes has wanted En-Nesyri at West Ham United in the past, and the developments regarding the 28-year-old centre-forward will certainly be one to keep an eye on.
https://x.com/yagosabuncuoglu/status/2014696609737523285Beto has been relegated to being the backup striker at the Merseyside outfit after Thierno Barry’s signing, and the ex-Udinise ace has been unable to convince the Scottish manager this season.
How Beto and Youssef En-Nesyri compare against each other
En-Nesyri doesn’t seem to fancy a move to the Premier League, but Fenerbahce may be forced to change his mind if they want Beto.
If Everton do get the Morocco international, they’ll be getting someone who has a similar profile to the ex-Udinese striker.
What En-Nesyri may have over the Guinea-Bissau international is a better goalscoring record this season, with seven goals from 15 league appearances.
The centre-forward would surely fit into Moyes’ plans in Merseyside, but only time will tell whether they will be able to sign him in the coming weeks.
