Beto is still of interest to Fenerbahce as reports of a new Everton contract offer have emerged.

The Toffees have struggled in the centre-forward department for much of the season, but Beto proved his worth with two goals against Chelsea.

David Moyes’ side put themselves firmly on the path to European qualification with that 3-0 win and the number nine redeeming himself.

Beto has long been a point of criticism among supporters, and calls for him to be replaced have frequently been made.

Now, the Blues seemingly want to keep hold of Beto, but with Fenerbahçe still looking to swoop in for a transfer for the Everton striker, they may face difficulties.

What has been said about Beto and Everton?

Beto’s future at Everton still remains uncertain, but keeping him around would be ideal.

Even if he may not be the main number at Hill Dickinson next season, finding decent strikers in the modern game does not come along often.

It now looks like the Toffees have come to that understanding with the latest reports emerging.

According to Turkish outlet SOK, Everton have offered Beto a new contract, but the Guinea-Bissau international rejected the chance to sign new terms.

The situation at Hill Dickinson Stadium has alerted Fenerbahce, who had looked into signing Beto in the winter transfer window.

The report out of Turkey states that the Istanbul outfit will move back in for the Toffees striker ahead of next season.

Fenerbahce remain confident due to Beto’s contract expiring in 2027, leaving this window one of the final chances for Everton to recoup some money. Beto is reportedly valued at around £17.3million.

Hopes of a new Beto contract did recently emerge in his latest admission about Everton fans.

Why Beto criticism may be slightly harsh at Everton

Beto has had his poor moments in an Everton jersey, but the criticism may be sligtlhy harsh.

Yes, you would like your centre-forward to have more than the six Premier League goals he currently has. However, his performance against Chelsea showed what he can do when he receives chances.

In that match, the Guinea-Bissau international had three times his average shots per game, and he made the most of it.

Additionally, Beto’s goal conversion rate (19 per cent) is higher than the likes of Hugo Ekitike (17 per cent), Ollie Watkins (15 per cent) and former Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin (17 per cent).

Overall, while he does have his misgivings, there is plenty of promising data there as well.
