Everton striker Beto emerges as last-minute option for Juventus

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus have identified Everton striker Beto as a possible reinforcement in attack after talks with Youssef En-Nesyri collapsed.

Everton striker Beto has emerged as a last-minute option for Juventus as the Bianconeri’s search for a new centre-forward continues.

According to Gazzetta, Juventus are only interested in a loan deal with an option to buy, which is the same reason why En-Nesyri has turned down their offer.

It remains to be seen whether Beto would accept a temporary move to Turin if the two clubs ultimately reach an agreement. Gazzetta reports that Everton value Beto at €20m.

According to the report, intermediaries are already working on a possible deal between all three parties, although Beto isn’t the only Juventus target in attack.

The Bianconeri already held talks with Crystal Palace for Jean-Philippe Mateta and have reportedly resumed talks with Manchester United for Joshua Zirkzee.

Juventus haven’t yet made any new signings in the January transfer window, which will officially close next week, on February 2, at 20:00 CET.

Beto, a former Udinese striker, isn’t a regular starter at Everton, where he has scored three goals in 25 appearances this term.
