Everton are getting ready for tonight’s match against Leeds, and there has already been news of a bid turned down just a few hours before kick-off.
The Toffees put in a strong showing in their last outing, picking up an impressive win away to Aston Villa. They will be hoping to carry that momentum into this one.
Everton also have Jarrad Branthwaite, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Charly Alcaraz available again after injuries.
But Moyes will be without Jack Grealish, who is set for a lengthy spell out with a foot injury.
With the transfer window still open, talk continues around possible late moves in or out of Goodison Park.
Just hours before the Leeds match, a club have made an attempt to sign Beto.
Juventus turned away after trying to sign Beto on loan
Italian club Juventus reportedly had a loan bid for Beto turned down today, according to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu.
This follows a similar failed attempt by Fenerbahce last week, as the Turkish club also tried to bring him in on a temporary deal.
Beto has faced questions over his form for some time now, struggling to find consistency since his move to Merseyside.
The forward made a strong impression when Moyes first returned to the club last year but has not managed to maintain that level.
This season, he has scored just twice in the league and has seen Thierno Barry move ahead of him in the pecking order.
Interestingly, Juve’s interest comes shortly after reports emerged that they had ended talks with Youssef En-Nesyri – a player Everton have also shown interest in this month.
Toffees prioritise replacement before allowing exit
Everton are correct to turn down Juventus’ offer. The proposal’s lack of an option or obligation to buy makes it clearly unacceptable for the Toffees.
With so little time left in the transfer window, it is crucial Everton have a replacement lined up before allowing Beto to leave.
Letting him go without securing another striker would be a risky move.
While it is clear that an upgrade is needed, Everton cannot afford to part ways with Beto unless they are certain someone else is coming in.
