Jarrad Branthwaite remains a transfer target for Manchester United, according to the Daily Mail. However, completing the deal will be a difficult task.
Will Jarrad Branthwaite join Manchester United?
Manchester United have been closely monitoring Jarrad Branthwaite’s situation for several months. The Red Devils have even made several offers for the English defender in recent weeks, but each of them has been rejected by Everton . The highest offer was £50 million, which did not convince the Toffees’ bosses. The club from Liverpool is asking for £70 million for their players.
Interestingly, Manchester United have not completely abandoned the idea of signing Jarrad Branthwaite, reports the British daily “Daily Mail”. The aforementioned newspaper reports that the transfer of the 22-year-old defender in the current summer transfer window will not be easy, but the transaction may take place in one of the following windows. In any case, the Red Devils are still interested in the defender.
Jarrad Branthwaite has been playing successfully for Everton since January 2020, when he joined the blue half of Liverpool from Carlisle United for just over a million euros. This transfer was a bullseye and not only is the English defender performing brilliantly on the pitch, but he will also help his club earn a fortune in the near future.
The England international has played 54 games for The Toffees, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist. The professional website “Transfermarkt” estimates the value of the 195 cm player at 42 million euros. The centre-back’s current contract with Everton runs until 30 June 2027, i.e. until the end of the 2026/2027 season.
