Everton have rejected Juventus’ enquiry for Beto last week, reports The Athletic’s David Ornstein.
The Toffees weren’t keen on losing the striker without signing an adequate replacement and were seeking significant compensation to proceed with the sale. The club also held internal talks over the signing of winger Edon Zhegrova, but nothing came out of it.
Ornstein reports that the club has no plans of letting Beto leave before Monday’s deadline given that he’s the only recognised striker in the squad besides Theirno Barry. Beto came on in the 89th minute to score a last-gasp equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion at Amex Stadium on Saturday.
The Guinea-Bissau international has scored three goals in the league so far in 24 appearances but has mostly come off the bench this season with Barry moving ahead of him in the pecking order.
The Toffees are yet to sign a player during the winter transfer window but are believed to be in negotiations with Chelsea over the signing of winger Tyrique George.

But then again, he’s good enough for Juventus, but not for us, apparently.

Moise Kean never wanted to be here. Took him a couple of years to grow up and mature after we sold him. And we even made a bit of a profit on him.

One goal a game is all we can manage at the moment but at least we are becoming hard to beat again albeit pushing our luck yesterday.
With players returning now we can at least hope to finish the season well and maybe sneak into Europe although I am not too worried about that.
