Manchester United Agree Terms with Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite

Posted : 14 June 2024

Manchester United have reached an agreement on personal terms with Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, who Everton value at a minimum of £80 million. United plan to approach Everton about Branthwaite following the opening of the transfer window on Friday.

 

Everton's response to United's interest is expected to be unwelcoming. According to BBC Sport, Everton are keen to retain Branthwaite, a player many feel was unfortunate not to be selected for England's European Championship squad. The club sees Branthwaite as a future England regular, comparable to players like Harry Maguire and Josko Gvardiol.

 

Branthwaite has impressed with his performances as a left-sided central defender, playing a crucial role in helping Everton avoid relegation last season despite facing points deductions due to financial rule breaches. In May, Everton's director of football Kevin Thelwell acknowledged that player sales would be necessary this summer and urged fans to be patient as the club works to stabilize its finances.

 

Manchester United, dealing with profit and sustainability rules and lacking Champions League football, are open to offers for almost all of their first-team squad to generate funds and strengthen Erik ten Hag's roster. They have set a £40 million price tag on forward Jadon Sancho and are prioritizing bolstering their central defense after losing Raphael Varane and experiencing injuries to key defenders like Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, and Victor Lindelof. United are also in discussions with veteran Jonny Evans regarding a new contract.
