This interest signals a potential return to Italy for the 27-year-old. The Italian duo formally entered the race to lure the forward away from Merseyside during this month\u2019s transfer window.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Everton Seek to Finalize Beto Departure as Italian Interest Intensifies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With this interest, it\u2019s hard to see him staying at Goodison Park much longer. Everton are actively looking for fresh attacking reinforcements to strengthen a blunt forward line. However, the club hierarchy is dealing with a tough financial situation.<\/p>\n<p>They cannot bring in a replacement until they finalise a deal for Beto\u2019s departure. David Moyes reportedly gave the green light for the player to find a new employer. In doing so, he essentially admitted that the move has not worked out as planned.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Guinea-Bissau striker\u2019s big-money transfer to Merseyside in 2023, he has failed to solve Everton\u2019s long-standing goalscoring problems. Beto managed just three goals across 25 appearances for Moyes\u2019 side this season. Crucially, Beto only started eight Premier League games during that time.<\/p>\n<p>These stats show a clear disconnect between the player\u2019s output and what the manager needs. This gap is what\u2019s forcing the club to push for a sale. The recruitment team must now wait for Como or Fiorentina to turn their interest into a real offer. Only then can they start moving on their own targets for incoming talent.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Critical Need for Offensive Reinforcement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_342149\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-342149\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Everton Flop Wanted By Como And Fiorentina\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-1024x672.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-150x98.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-1536x1008.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-2048x1344.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-640x420.jpg 640w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-1280x840.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-600x394.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-696x457.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-1392x913.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-1068x701.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-1920x1260.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-741x486.jpg 741w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/liverpool-v-everton-premier-league-1482x972.jpg 1482w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-342149\">LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND \u2013 SEPTEMBER 20: Beto of Everton looks on as he warms up prior to the Premier League match between Liverpool and Everton at Anfield on September 20, 2025 in Liverpool, England. (Photo by Stu Forster\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The push to sell Beto comes directly from Everton\u2019s struggles in front of goal. The team have scored only 24 goals in 22 Premier League matches this season, so far. That low return puts a massive amount of pressure on the defence. It also stops the squad from moving up the table. For these reasons, getting fresh blood in is essential for the rest of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Thierno Barry has surprisingly become Moyes\u2019 top choice upfront. He hit a great run of form just at the right time. The 23-year-old scored three times in his last five games across all competitions. This run included the winning goal in the recent 1-0 victory over Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p>While Barry has the momentum right now, the management knows they need another reliable scorer. A new signing would help take the load off and give the team more options. So, Everton want to move Beto on for two reasons.<\/p>\n<p>The club get an underperforming high-earner off the books and, at the same time, finds the cash to sign a more clinical finisher. Keeping a striker who keeps missing the mark makes it harder for the team to win close matches. The board needs to hurry up negotiations with the Italian clubs. Without a quick fix, Everton risk ending the window without the extra firepower they desperately need.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journalist Wayne Veysey of Football Insider is claiming that Serie A clubs Como and Fiorentina recently registered firm interest in striker Beto.
