How Beto could now leave Everton in last-ditch summer transfer

Beto could potentially be on his way to Fiorentina from Everton in the final days of the transfer window.

The Guinea-Bissau striker is being eyed as a replacement for Moise Kean by La Viola, but that's not the only reason he's on their radar.

Heading into deadline day, the Serie A club have a shortlist of players they're considering.

Beto seems to be a concrete target for Fiorentina, who have set their eyes on the frontman from Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The former Udinese ace started on the bench for the Blues in the opening day win against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

David Moyes seems to trust Thierno Barry as his first-choice number nine for now, and he may end up having to play an even bigger role in Merseyside if his striker partner leaves.

Beto focus of Fiorentina transfer pursuit at Everton

Como's move for Kean could affect Beto's future at the Toffees.

If Fiorentina lose their goalscorer, which looks likely, they have plans to replace him before the window closes.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport on 25 August, Chelsea attacking duo Emmanuel Emegha and Liam Delap are also on La Viola's radar.

The three Premier League strikers are potential candidates for the Italian side, but Delap looks set for Nottingham Forest.

Fiorentina's search is primarily focused on Beto and the other two, as they're looking for players with limited playing time in the Premier League.

The possibility of a guaranteed place in the starting lineup will surely be attractive to someone like the Guinea-Bissau forward.

Why David Moyes prospect looks inevitable at Hill Dickinson Stadium

Everton have been reluctant to spend big money in recent transfer windows under The Friedkin Group.

While Moyes has done his best to bring stability back to Hill Dickinson Stadium, he needs backing from the American owners.

Dan Friedkin doesn't seem to fancy the Scottish manager, who has a year left on his contract at the Toffees.

With deadline day fast approaching, fans still want to see plenty of business done in L3 to have a competitive squad for the 2026-27 campaign.

As things stand, it looks like TFG are content to have Moyes manage the Blues for one more season, then replace him.

The lack of investment in the Scottish manager's team arguably indicates his time in Merseyside could potentially be coming to an end.
