Everton make their move to sign Udinese striker Beto

Everton have made an offer worth €25-26 million for Udinese striker Beto, but the Italian side could push towards a fee closer to his €35 million release clause.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed Everton’s interest in Udinese striker Beto, having lodged their first offer worth €25-26 million. The Italian side may not accept the proposal as they could ask for more as the striker has a €35 million release clause in his contract.

Everton are eager to finish the transfer window strongly and are looking at different options in the market. The season’s first two games resulted in defeats but made it abundantly clear that the Toffees need more firepower up front.

As Dominic Calvert-Lewin looked to get back fit, he picked up a cheekbone problem against Aston Villa. Sean Dyche will hope the issue is not severe enough to keep him out for prolonged periods and will want to have him back soon.
