Everton ready to cash in on Beto to fund Richarlison return

Everton are prepared to sell Beto to raise funds for a sensational move to bring Richarlison back to Goodison Park before the Premier League transfer deadline.

David Moyes is working against the clock as he looks to strengthen his squad before the window closes, with a new striker and a replacement for right-back Seamus Coleman among his priorities.

The Toffees have identified Richarlison as a key attacking target, with Tottenham prepared to sanction his departure after manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed the Brazil international wants to leave the club.

Richarlison remains a popular figure among Everton supporters after establishing himself as one of the club’s most influential forwards during his first spell on Merseyside.

Beto sale could unlock Richarlison deal

The 28-year-old Guinea-Bissau international scored 53 goals in 152 appearances for Everton before completing a move to Tottenham in 2022.

Spurs value Richarlison’s return at around £35 million, meaning Everton would need to generate significant funds to finance the proposed reunion.

A £15 million transfer for Beto to Fiorentina is now being considered as part of that funding strategy, with Everton willing to part ways with the Portuguese striker to create room for Richarlison’s return.

Beto’s potential departure would provide Moyes with additional resources as he attempts to reshape his attacking options before the deadline.

Ndiaye exit could transform Everton’s plans

Everton could also generate a substantial fee through the potential sale of Senegal international Iliman Ndiaye.

The forward has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park, with a deal potentially worth as much as £60 million and forming part of parallel transfer discussions.

Moyes is assessing several options to strengthen his attack, including moves for Folarin Balogun and Jack Grealish.

However, Richarlison remains one of the most intriguing possibilities, with Everton now seemingly prepared to sacrifice Beto to help finance a return for the Brazilian.

With the deadline fast approaching, Moyes must move quickly if he is to complete his desired attacking overhaul and reunite Richarlison with the club where he made his name in English football.
