Beto’s transfer to Leeds United has been confirmed, and he’s taking the iconic shirt number 14 from previous wearer, Manor Solomon. Solomon recently joined Leeds United and was assigned the number 14 jersey, which was previously worn by other notable players like Rodon and Diego Llorente.
Before Solomon, the number 14 shirt was worn by some legendary Leeds players, including Eric Cantona during his time at the club, although it’s worth noting Cantona’s iconic status largely stems from his time at Manchester United. Other notable players to wear the number 14 jersey for Leeds include John Stiles, Rod Wallace, Jon Newsome, and Tomas Brolin.
The number 14 shirt seems to be an important part of Leeds United’s history, with various talented players donning it over the years. Now, with Beto joining the team and taking over the number 14 shirt, fans will be eager to see how he performs and if he can live up to the expectations that come with wearing this iconic number.
Beto’s arrival at Leeds United is expected to bring some much-needed firepower to the team’s attack. With his impressive skills and goal-scoring ability, he could be a key player for the team in the upcoming season. The fans are excited to see him in action, wearing the number 14 shirt, and hopefully, he’ll make a significant impact ¹.
Everton’s asking price for Beto has now been shared amid Leeds transfer interest

Everton’s striker department could be all change soon.
After a great end to the season for David Moyes, the Scot now faces the prospect of having a completely different pool of strikers for the 2025/26.
It was claimed earlier today that Dominic Calvert-Lewin is set to leave Everton after failing to reach an agreement with the club over a contract extension.
And Armando Broja is heading back to Chelsea after an unsuccessful loan spell.
It is also not out of the question that Chermiti could be heading out on loan for next season.
That just leaves Beto, who perhaps represents some of Moyes’ finest work at Everton since he returned to the club earlier this year.

Beto hit seven goals in the Premier League after Moyes came in.
Arguably though, he should have had a few more to his name, with the 27-year-old spurning quite a lot of good chances in games.
Some fans have suggested that, despite his upturn in form, Everton can still upgrade on him.
Beto was recently linked with Leeds United, who have just been promoted back to the Premier League. And Everton would be willing to sell for the right price.
And that price, according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, writing for Sky Sports, is around £21 million.
It is stated Everton ‘would not close the door’ to a Beto sale if this much money was offered, but Leeds are also eyeing Josh Sargent from Norwich City.
It remains to be seen if Leeds will be prepared to go near that apparent asking price.
Everton should be asking for more than £21m for Beto
Yes, Beto missed a lot of chances and yes Everton do need more of a ‘killer’ up top than him if the team are to reach the next level.
But if it’s true Everton could sell Beto – who Troy Deeney branded ‘excellent’ earlier this year – for £21 million, then that is a tad surprising.
Everton signed him for £30 million, and the player still has two years left on his contract.

Appearances – 71
Goals – 15
Assists – 2
He has shown in 2025 that he can be a real handful and score goals, so £21 million feels a little on the cheap side.
We will see what transpires, but the most important thing for Everton is that Moyes gets a top striker in this summer.
Duncan Ferguson believes Everton could push for Europe with a top striker, and it’s difficult to argue against that.
