Speaking exclusively to Ok Calciomercato [11 October], he confirmed that the 26-year-old is on wages of €3million/year which is equal to £57k/week.
He also claims that he’s currently out of favour at Goodison Park but his salary might make it harder for the club to sell.
La Manna said: “He could (return to Italy). Beto is out of Everton’s fold but the problem is linked to the cost of his contract: the Toffees paid a lot for him and the striker earns around €3million (£2.51million)”.
Everton may have to make a compromise before selling Beto
The Toffees will face difficulties in selling Beto primarily due to his high wage demands, which are significantly above what many clubs, especially in Italy, might be willing to pay for a player who has struggled to make an impact at Goodison Park.
Such an arrangement would not only help the Toffees offload some of Beto’s wages from their books but also potentially recoup some of the investment made when they signed him, thereby mitigating financial losses while freeing up squad space for new signings or youth development.
