Fiorentina focus on Beto as Manchester United uncertain of Zirkzee terms

Fiorentina focus on Beto as Manchester United uncertain of Zirkzee terms Fiorentina have not yet agreed the sale of Moise Kean to Como, nor terms with Manchester United for Joshua Zirkzee, so have reportedly asked Everton for Beto instead. The Viola are very likely to accept the proposal from Como for Kean, who is pushing hard for the exit towards a club in the Champions League, but must first find a replacement. The basic agreement is there for €35m plus €5m add-ons , but they are discussing how these bonuses are to be activated.

It would be a paid loan at €5m with option to buy at the end of the season, but the Premier League side is hesitant, while in turn the former Bologna striker still hopes Juventus can come in with an improved bid. Manchester United would prefer a permanent sale, or at least an obligation to purchase the Dutchman.

Like Zirkzee, Beto is no stranger to Serie A football, as he played for Udinese from 2021 to 2023, when sold to Everton for €25m plus bonus. The 28-year-old scored 10 goals with one assist in 40 competitive games for Everton last season.
