Everton has firmly rejected Juventus' recent inquiry for Beto, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein. The Toffees are determined to retain the striker, recognizing his importance to the team, especially with no suitable replacements available. This decision comes after internal discussions regarding the potential signing of winger Edon Zhegrova, but no concrete actions were taken. Ornstein emphasizes that, with no other recognized striker on the squad besides Theirno Barry, Beto's role is irreplaceable. His recent performance, including a crucial last-minute goal against Brighton and Hove Albion, further solidifies his value to the team. Despite the rejection, Everton is actively exploring other transfer options, including negotiations with Chelsea for winger Tyrique George, indicating a proactive approach to strengthening the squad.
