Fiorentina progressing in move for Everton’s Beto, player interested | OneFootball

Serie A side Fiorentina remain in the hunt to sign a new striker, having likely missed out on Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee. A deal for Everton’s Beto is now slowly gathering momentum.

Get Italian Football News have looked at how La Viola did make an initial offer for the Toffees player.

Now, ViolaNews report that the Everton forward is seen as the ideal option by Fabio Grosso. Discussions between the two clubs, as a result, are progressing over a deal worth €20 million.

Beto has expressed his willingness to the move and is quite enthusiastic about the deal.

Everton’s stance on this has helped Fiorentina. David Moyes’ side feel Beto is up for sale and has fallen down the pecking order upfront. That is why they are closing in on Richarlison, with Thierno Barry currently the starting striker for the Scotsman.

The move would be very important for Beto, who needs to become the centre of a project once again. Fiorentina will hand him that chance, with Moise Kean on his way out. The Everton man would be a better fit than Zirkzee too, as he is a proper box presence, with the Dutchman better when dropping deeper and linking up play.
