Sources: Everton tell £26m star to find new club

Everton have told forward Beto that he is free to find a new club after opening preliminary discussions with Bologna over a potential transfer, sources have told Football Insider.

The Serie A club are exploring the conditions of a deal for the 26-year-old as they look to replace Man United new boy Joshua Zirkzee.

Beto still has three years remaining on his deal at Goodison Park but Sean Dyche has given the green light for him to leave.

The Portuguese may not be the only Everton player heading to Italy after Football Insider revealed the club are plotting a swap deal with Napoli for Vitaliy Mykolenko and Jesper Lindstrom.

Everton willing to accept Beto offer

After joining the Merseyside club from Italian side Udinese for £26million last summer, Beto has only managed to score three goals in 30 Premier League appearances.

With only ten of those appearances being starts, Beto was largely used as an impact sub by Dyche, brought on in the last new minutes of a match when a goal was needed.

Following the sale of Dutch forward Joshua Zirkzee to Man Utd, Bologna want Beto to fill the void left by the 23-year-old.

Beto was relatively successful in Italy, initially joining Udinese on loan before joining permanently in July 2022, he scored 22 goals in 65 appearances for the club.
