Beto is set to leave Everton, with Fiorentina expected to sign the striker in a deal worth approximately €18 million.
The forward will be allowed to depart Goodison Park after falling behind Thierno Barry in the pecking order for the central striker’s role. That shift has opened the door for Fiorentina to move, with the Italian club now poised to bring him in as Everton reshape their attacking options.
The expected transfer marks a significant decision by Everton, who are prepared to sanction the exit rather than keep a forward who is no longer viewed as the leading option up front. Barry’s position ahead of Beto has been the key factor in the move, with the club now ready to proceed with a sale.
For Fiorentina, the deal represents a notable attacking addition at a reported fee of around €18 million. The move gives Beto a fresh opportunity away from Goodison Park, where his prospects have become more limited due to the competition for places in Everton’s forward line.
Everton’s willingness to let him go also underlines the importance of their current striker hierarchy. With Barry ahead in the selection order, Beto’s departure is the clearest indication yet of how the club intend to manage that area of the squad.
The transfer is expected to be completed on the basis of the agreed valuation, with Fiorentina moving to secure the player and Everton accepting his exit. Unless there is a late change, Beto’s time at Goodison Park is now set to end with a move to Serie A.
