Season › 2024-25 › News The Rumour Mill Juventus balk at Everton's demands for Beto Lyndon Lloyd | 21/11/2024 3comments | Jump to last According to a report in Italy, Juventus have been put off the idea of signing Beto during the winter transfer window because Everton's asking price was too high. There was uncorroborated speculation recently that the Italian giants might consider a move for the Portuguese and now Corriere dello Sport claim that they approached the Blues about the possibility of a January transfer. Beto had reasonable success at Udinese, the club from which Everton signed him last year after tracking his progress for two seasons, but has struggled to make in impact at Goodison Park so far. His experience of playing in Italy might be one reason why Juve are interested in him but with Everton looking to recoup as much of the £25m they agreed to pay Udinese, Beto might end up being too expensive.

Then we splash $25mil on Beto. Hmm. Mike Gaynes 2 Posted 21/11/2024 at 05:52:38 We got Beto for nothing at the time. Payment was deferred one year. Hmm. Paul Hewitt 3 Posted 21/11/2024 at 06:48:23 As usual we sign a striker and don't play to his strengths. Beto likes the ball played on the floor Infront of him so he can run onto it, just see his goal against Newcastle last season. But we just play harmless balls forward in the hope something happens. I guarantee no striker would score goals in this team under Dour Dyche and his terrible tactics.
