Everton are reportedly edging closer to sanctioning the exit of striker Beto before the transfer window shuts, with Fiorentina understood to be leading the race for his signature.
According to TeamTalk, via EPL Index, talks between the Toffees and the Serie A side remain ongoing as the Italian club push to finalise a deal for the forward. Beto has struggled for consistent minutes at Goodison Park, and Everton appear open to cashing in as they look to reshape their squad late in the window.
While nothing is yet confirmed, the report suggests momentum is building towards an exit, with Fiorentina viewed as the most likely destination should terms be agreed between the clubs. Everton's stance reportedly reflects a willingness to let the Portuguese striker leave if a suitable offer materialises before deadline day.
Beto's future now hinges on whether Fiorentina can strike an agreement with Everton in the closing stages of the window - a scenario that would mark another chapter in what has already been an eventful summer of squad rebuilding on Merseyside.
