Napoli are reportedly targeting Beto, the 27-year-old Guinea-Bissau striker currently at Everton, as the Italian club look to bolster their attacking options following the winter departure of two forwards.
The Premier League side have struggled to get the best from Beto this season. In 22 league appearances, the striker has scored just twice, raising questions over his future at Goodison Park.
Reports suggest he may not complete the season with Everton, with Napoli emerging as a potential destination.
According to Transferfeed, Napoli are considering a loan deal with an option to buy for Beto. The Italian club view the move as an opportunity to strengthen their squad while evaluating the striker’s fit in Serie A. The discussions remain at an early stage, with no official confirmation from either club.
Beto’s career has included stints in Portugal, Spain and England, and he has been capped by Guinea-Bissau at senior international level.
While he has yet to find consistent form in the Premier League, his experience and physical presence make him an attractive option for a club seeking additional attacking depth.
Napoli, who have already faced the challenge of replacing two forwards this winter, see Beto as a potential solution to their striking needs.
The Italian side are aiming to maintain competitiveness in Serie A while managing squad rotation amid domestic and European commitments.
Everton’s willingness to sanction the move will depend on negotiations over salary and transfer terms, with the player’s desire for regular playing time likely to influence any decision. Both clubs are understood to be in preliminary talks, and a final agreement has not yet been reached.
For Beto, a move to Serie A would provide an opportunity to reset his career and demonstrate his abilities in a new environment, while Napoli would gain an experienced striker to bolster their frontline.
