Everton's failure to sign a single player during the January transfer window has been a source of frustration for supporters, but it appears that it wasn't for a lack of trying by the club.
According to reports, the Blues made a last-ditch attempt to lure Udinese forward Beto to Goodison Park, with a large offer just days before transfer deadline day.
On Wednesday (as per Sport Witness), the Italian club's director, Pierpaolo Marino, is quoted as saying: "I can confirm that our owners — Pozzo family — have turned down an important, huge bid for Beto at the end of January. The bid was from Everton in the final days of the window. Udinese feel they could sell Beto in July.”
