As the January transfer window draws ever closer, Juventus are reportedly eyeing a move for Everton striker Beto. According to sources in Italy, the Serie A giants have identified Beto as a top target, with sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli believed to be a long-time admirer of the Brazilian forward.
Beto, who has scored seven goals in 47 appearances for Everton since joining the club in 2022, has been in impressive form for the Toffees this season. However, with Juventus reportedly willing to offer a significant transfer fee, Everton may find it difficult to resist the Italian club’s advances.
“Beto is a talented player, and it’s no surprise that Juventus are interested in him,” said former Everton midfielder, Leon Osman. “He’s got a lot of quality, and he’s been a great addition to the Everton squad. However, if Juventus come in with a big offer, it’s going to be hard for Everton to turn it down.”
Juventus’ interest in Beto is believed to be driven by their desire to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the second half of the season. The Italian club have been struggling for goals in recent weeks, and the addition of Beto could provide a much-needed boost to their attacking lineup.
“Beto would be a great signing for Juventus,” said Italian football journalist, Tancredi Palmeri. “He’s got a lot of pace and power, and he’s a clinical finisher. He would be a great addition to the Juventus squad, and I think he would thrive in Serie A.”
Everton, meanwhile, are facing a crucial period in their season, with a number of tough fixtures on the horizon. The Toffees are currently unbeaten in their last two Premier League games, but they will need to be at their best if they are to pick up points against some of the top teams in the country.
“It’s going to be a tough few weeks for Everton, but they’ve got the quality to pick up some good results,” said Osman. “They’ve just got to make sure they’re focused and ready to go, because the Premier League is a tough league, and you can’t afford to take your eye off the ball.”
As for Beto’s future, it remains to be seen whether he will remain at Everton beyond the January transfer window. However, one thing is certain – the Brazilian striker has a big decision to make, and it could have a significant impact on his career.
