Everton have had a busy summer making new signings, impressing their fans with the increased depth in the squad. However, since Jake O’Brien arrived, there has been a lack of activity in the transfer market, indicating that the funds may be running low.
Despite selling Amadou Onana for £50m, Everton may need to sell players in order to make new acquisitions, which could be frustrating as it would deplete key areas of the squad. The striker position is of particular worry, with rumors circulating that Dominic Calvert-Lewin could depart due to contract negotiations.
Interestingly, it may not be Calvert-Lewin but his striking partner who could be leaving Everton. Italian club Atalanta are reportedly preparing a bid for Beto, offering just €20m despite Everton paying £26m for him only a year ago.
Losing Beto would be a blow for Everton, as he has shown promise and potential on the field. With injuries to other strikers, including Chermiti, the team cannot afford to lose another attacking option. Additionally, with uncertainties surrounding Calvert-Lewin’s contract, it is crucial that Beto stays at the club for the upcoming season.
