How Everton can now seal double new striker transfer as Beto jets away
With the 1 September deadline fast approaching, the Toffees have decided to part ways with one of their number nines.
The Guinea-Bissau international has been sharing minutes with Thierno Barry since last season, but will now continue his journey in Florence.
Beto's exit from Hill Dickinson Stadium looks close as he's set to travel to Italy soon.
The former Udinese striker is returning to Italy after the Merseyside outfit found an agreement with La Viola for his sale.

How much Fiorentina will pay for Beto transfer
There has been uncertainty around Beto all summer and his situation is finally about to be resolved.
Fiorentina are set to get a deal over the line for the 28-year-old centre-forward, who has given his approval to the project.
According to Fabrizio Romano on 29 August, the Toffees will receive £14.5million from the Guinea-Bissau striker's sale.
Beto will undergo his medical tests on Monday morning and sign his new contract at Stadio Artemio Franchi.
The Merseyside outfit are set to reinvest the money from the striker's sale to sign a new number nine in the coming hours.
Why Everton are about to sign two strikers in late swoop
Richarlison and Folarin Balogun have been linked with moves to Everton in recent hours.
Beto's sale at Hill Dickinson Stadium was considered necessary for the Toffees to sign both the Tottenham Hotspur and AS Monaco strikers.
Now that the ex-Udinese attacker is on his way out, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Blues strike multi-million-pound transfer deals for the Brazilian ace and the USMNT star.
David Moyes is certainly in need of more quality up front considering the situation around Iliman Ndiaye, who could be on his way to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium soon.
It's going to be a long and busy few hours for fans in L3, who are eagerly waiting to see what the Merseyside outfit can pull off late in the window.
