Fiorentina targets Everton striker Beto if Zirkzee deal fails
Summary

Fiorentina has earmarked Everton striker Beto as a potential target if they cannot secure Joshua Zirkzee. Reports indicate Fiorentina is interested in a loan arrangement for Beto, who has struggled for form since joining Everton in 2023. Thierno Barry's strong performances have limited Beto’s opportunities, making a move back to Italy appealing. Everton must consider the implications of allowing Beto to leave, especially in light of the approaching transfer window closure and his final contract year. The decision could depend on the financial terms offered by Fiorentina for the loan deal.
