It is a four-year deal, which ties the player at Goodison Park until 2027.
It is a much needed addition for the Liverpool side as they have yet to find the back of the net this season. Beto has scored 10 times last campaign for the Italian team and he becomes Everton’s fifth new signing this summer.
“It feels good to join Everton,” said Beto.
“Everton is a big, big club in the Premier League, well respected and has big history. It was easy to make this move.
“When a club like Everton tries to buy you in January and then comes again in the summer, you feel like, ‘OK, they want me for real’, so that made the decision easy for me as well.”
Sean Dyche’s men are currently plum last in the Premier League having lost all three of their opening games. They now face Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, before returning to PL duties against Sheffield United on Saturday.
