“TOFFEES IN CRISIS? Beto’s Struggles Spark Existential Questions – Is It Time to Admit Defeat?”

Everton Urged to Consider Beto Sale Amid Bologna Interest

Dan Bardell, a Sky Sports and talkSPORT journalist, has suggested Everton should consider selling striker Beto if Bologna makes a suitable offer. The Portuguese forward, who joined the Toffees for £25.75 million just a year ago, has struggled to make an impact in his debut season.

Bologna, fresh from securing Champions League qualification, has shown interest in Beto. Bardell believes this could be an opportunity for Everton to recoup their investment, especially given Beto’s previous success in Italian football.

Key points from Bardell’s comments:

1. Beto’s move to Everton hasn’t met expectations.
2. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is likely to remain the first-choice striker when fit.
3. Everton should consider selling if they can recover their initial outlay.
4. The club may not be in a position to turn down a substantial offer.

Beto’s performance at Everton has been underwhelming, with only five goals in 37 appearances across all competitions. While selling him could be financially prudent, Everton must also consider their striker options, especially with Calvert-Lewin’s contract situation uncertain.

The potential deal would depend on Bologna’s offer and Everton’s willingness to part with the 26-year-old striker after just one season. Beto might view a return to Italy, where he previously found success, as an attractive option, particularly with the prospect of Champions League football.
