“AS Roma Eyes Everton’s Beto as Friedkin Group Strengthens Club Ties”
The Friedkin Group, which owns AS Roma, may help facilitate a potential transfer between Everton and Roma. Amid ongoing talks around Everton’s potential takeover by 777 Partners and A-Cap, which has caused unrest among some fans, things are reportedly still progressing. Should the takeover be completed, Everton could benefit from the connection with Roma to secure player signings.
AS Roma is said to be eyeing Beto, a striker currently with Everton, as a potential target for the January transfer window. The link between the two clubs is expected to ease negotiations for Beto’s move to Roma. Beto, who joined Everton for £26 million in 2023, has struggled in the Premier League, netting only six goals and two assists in 43 appearances. Although his current season shows some improvement, with three goals and one assist in seven matches, most of these contributions came in the EFL Trophy.
