Everton star ‘asks for January transfer’ after brutal Sean Dyche snub

Reports from Italy claim that Everton striker Beto has handed in a transfer request ahead of the January window and several Serie A sides are interested.

The 26-year-old has found minutes hard to come by under Sean Dyche and has started just one game in the Premier League so far this season.

Beto’s start came in Everton’s 4-0 defeat to Manchester United. He was then replaced in the starting XI in the following fixture by Dominic Calvert-Lewin, which the Toffees won 4-0.

Calvert-Lewin was substituted off late in the game and replaced by Chelsea loanee striker Armando Broja, who has just recovered from an injury.

Beto has ‘asked to be sold’ in January and Everton have accepted his request and ‘put him on the market.’

Torino are said to be interested in the Guinea-Bissau international, who scored 22 goals between 2021 and 2023 with former club Udinese.

Torino reportedly want to sign Beto on loan with an obligation to buy set at between €15million (£12.4m / $15.8m) and €20million (£16.5m / $21.2m) – significantly less than the £26m Everton paid for him in 2023.

Roma have also been linked with a move for Beto, which is interesting given their owners, The Friedkin Group, are set to take over Everton in the next few weeks.

Roma reportedly see Beto as a potentially valuable signing as they look to bring in more competition for Artem Dovbyk. Torino, meanwhile, have several names on their shortlist but Beto is thought to be top of it.
