Report: £16m Everton player has ‘forcefully’ told David Moyes he wants to leave after fresh bid submitted

Beto reportedly had another “confrontation” with David Moyes to express his desire to leave Everton during the current winter transfer window, according to Tuttosport.

The Italian outlet, in a report on January 27, revealed that the striker wants to depart Goodison Park after agreeing on personal terms with Torino, and Moyes has given him permission to leave.

As a result, Torino resumed negotiations on Sunday night (January 26), offering £12.6 million for the Guinea-Bissau international after initially securing him on loan. However, Everton are holding out for around £16.8 million, though the deal could be finalized for £15.1 million in a loan-to-buy agreement with an obligation.

It’s unexpected that Moyes would approve Beto’s departure so close to the transfer deadline on February 3, especially after Dominic Calvert-Lewin picked up an injury during Everton’s 1-0 win over Brighton on January 25.

Everton are also working to cut short Armando Broja’s season-long loan and send him back to Chelsea following a long-term injury, as reported by The Mirror.

Letting Beto leave for Italy would leave Everton short on attacking options. However, it seems they are making plans to sign a new striker before the window closes, especially after Moyes expressed a desire to bring one in.

The club had scouts watching Rangers striker Hamza Igamane during their 3-1 win over Dundee United on January 26, according to Tuttosport.

Moyes is likely to be busy at the end of the transfer window, with Everton also nearing a £5 million deal for Angelo Preciado from Sparta Prague.
