Fiorentina ‘progressing’ on move for Everton’s Beto as player keen | OneFootball

Fiorentina are pushing for a new striker after likely missing out on Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee, with a move for Everton’s Beto gathering pace.

ViolaNews reports that Fabio Grosso views Beto as the ideal option and that talks between the clubs are progressing around a €20 million fee.

Beto has signalled he is open to the switch and is enthusiastic about the prospect.

Everton consider him available and he has slipped down their pecking order in attack.

The move is seen as important for Beto, who needs to be the centre of a project again. Fiorentina will offer that opportunity, with Moise Kean on his way out. Beto is viewed as a better stylistic fit than Zirkzee, providing penalty-area presence rather than dropping deep to link play.
