The Everton and Beto saga continues to take twists and turns as a new club seems to be linked every week.
As much as people look at the January transfer window for signings, there is going to be a lot of movement on the outgoings from at Everton this month.
One thing that is for certain is that funds need to be raised in order to spend a bit more freely, as PSR is still a slight worry for the Friedkin Group.
However, there could be a boost for Everton if Antonee Robinson ends up being sold by Fulham, which could result in £2.5 million if he’s sold for £38m.
Instead of hoping other clubs sell their players it appears as if Sean Dyche is being proactive with one of his own, as Everton have made a new demand.
Everton will now only accept straight cash for Beto
Beto has been unfortunate this season at Everton, as Dyche has persisted with Dominic Calvert-Lewin despite the Englishman showing very little up top.
The striker has made it clear he wants to leave and Torino were claimed to be working on a loan deal for Beto.
However, that doesn’t appear to be true now, as Everton have made a U-turn on their stance.
According to Tuttosport, Everton no longer want a dry loan deal and they’ve made this clear with Torino, as they’re instead demanding an obligation to buy of €16m (£13.2m) in any loan agreement.
Beto’s Everton career looks to be coming to an end
Beto joined from Udinese for around £25.75m, but things just haven’t gone to plan for the striker and he now looks to be on his way out.
Sean Dyche has constantly brought up the fact he needs to improve and train harder, but in any performance this season he’s looked much brighter than Calvert-Lewin.
It’s vitally important that Everton go out and sign a striker to replace him, with Evan Ferguson on the radar of the Friedkin Group.
However, that move depends on whether Everton decide to cancel Jack Harrison’s loan or sign Orel Mangala permanently.
