Everton’s January transfer window could prove to be a busy one with players potentially moving in both directions.

Coming into the New Year, Everton had PSR concerns following Farhad Moshiri’s time on Merseyside.

But Sean Dyche is in need of some new additions at Goodison Park with his Everton side showing little signs of improvement.

To bring in some new faces, The Friedkin Group may need to offload some of their current players in an attempt to balance the books.

Everton have opened talks to sign Jaden Philogene from Aston Villa, but there are also some players who could be departing Merseyside before the end of the month.

Beto’s Everton exit for Torino hitting the rocks over salary and fee issues

As he continues to struggle for game time, Beto is looking to leave Everton this month with a return back to Serie A on the cards.

Torino are one of the sides who have shown a keen interest in the striker who joined from Udinese back in 2023.

However, journalist Orazio Accomando has claimed an exit for Beto is starting to become a little complicated.

Taking to X, the Italian’s post translated to: ‘It’s a difficult target due to salary and distance with Everton,’ he said.

‘The boy hasn’t been in town these days. His entourage is trying to find the right solution for him, but today the Torino track is complicated.’

There had been some suggestion that the striker was headed for Italy earlier this week after Beto was spotted in Manchester Airport over the weekend.

But it seems this may not be the case with a lot of work still needing to be done for the 26-year-old to secure a move away.

Beto could start against Peterborough United on Thursday

Over the last few days, Everton have been hit with some further injury issues to their strikers.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Youssef Chermiti have suffered fresh injuries which will keep them out on Thursday in the FA Cup.

Armando Broja’s injury isn’t too serious after he was withdrawn during the loss on the weekend against Bournemouth.

What this does mean is that Beto could now be in line for a start against the League One side.

Beto has been hailed ‘brilliant’, so there won’t be too many worries surrounding the Portuguese forward’s ability, but the lack of options is a real concern.
