Everton transfer news emerges in pursuit of Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante
Everton are not likely to sign Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante in a swap deal for Beto in January, according to TEAMtalk.
The news outlet reported on 22 November that sources claim that the Rome outfit want to keep the Italy international at the club until the end of the season.
Beto has struggled to get game time this season with Sean Dyche fancying Dominic Calvert-Lewin to lead the line.
Everton need defensive reinforcements and a game changer in attack
The aging right-back duo of Seamus Coleman and Ashley Young, while experienced, cannot be expected to provide long-term solutions, highlighting the urgent need for younger and dynamic reinforcements.
On the left, Vitalii Mykolenko’s lack of a direct replacement further exposes the team’s vulnerability in full-back positions.
Offensively, the reliance on Calvert-Lewin, despite his importance, underscores the necessity for a game-changer upfront.
The team’s struggle to score goals has become a critical issue, with Beto’s limited game time under Dyche indicating a lack of depth or alternatives in attack.
The potential swap deal for Cristante was appealing for squad balance, but with Roma’s intention to retain him, Everton must look elsewhere for players who can both solidify the backline and invigorate their forward line.
