Beto has ‘accepted’ Everton move as £25.7million bid update is shared – Fabrizio Romano
Udinese striker Beto has accepted a move to Everton although the Toffees will need to increase their offer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Italian journalist provided an update via Twitter in the early hours of Saturday morning (26 August), reporting that the two teams will discuss the deal again today with the Serie A outfit wanting more than the £25.7million Everton have offered.
Add-ons and the structure of payment terms could both prove to be crucial factors in making a deal happen for the 25-year-old striker.
Beto himself has already accepted the move, meaning it is now done to the clubs to get a deal across the line.
Almost there
It appears as if after a long and exhausting search for a brand new number nine, that saga might be finally coming to a close for Sean Dyche’s side. Of course, they have already announced the signing of 19-year-old frontman Youssef Chermiti from Sporting Lisbon, however, a more experienced option is still necessary.
And that experienced option could arrive in the form of Chermiti’s Portuguese countryman Beto, provided that Everton meet his current side’s demands. With the player having already accepted the switch, there are no excuses now for the Merseyside club to not get this transfer done. After all, it is a priority position on the pitch.
Beto has struck the back of the net 11 and 10 times during his two seasons in Italy’s top flight, proving that he can score consistently at the highest level, and those potential goals could be crucial to Everton’s chances of survival.
And Premier League survival is something that you cannot put a price on, meaning the club must get this deal done, especially if there is just a matter of millions in it.

Everton have agreed to send Mason Holgate on loan to Southampton but a deal for Che Adams to move in the opposite direction has not been struck.
Everton have been close to agreeing a package for Adams worth approximately £15 million. However, the recent collapse of Everton’s investment deal with MSP Capital has created financial uncertainty for the club, leading to concerns about the initial down payment for the Southampton striker
Holgate’s departure from Everton on a temporary basis is expected to be confirmed in the near future. The 26-year-old defender is travelling to the south coast on Friday to undergo a medical with Championship promotion hopefuls Southampton, reports the Liverpool ECHO.
Holgate’s move comes after he was given permission by Everton to leave either on loan or permanently during the summer transfer window. He has yet to feature in the Premier League this season and struggled for regular game time last season under manager Sean Dyche.
