Jarrad Branthwaite transfer news: Everton value centre-back at more than £70m amid Man Utd interest

Published on Jun 17, 2024

Everton value centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite at more than £70m having rejected an opening bid from Manchester United.

One source suggests the offer from United was £35m plus add-ons, some way short of Everton's price for the 21-year-old, who is believed to be in a similar transfer bracket to defenders Josko Gvardiol, Harry Maguire and Wesley Fofana - all of whom were sold for higher fees.

Everton regard Branthwaite as a key player and intend to keep him this summer.

However, director of football Kevin Thelwell admitted last month that players will be sold this summer as Everton attempt to improve their financial condition to stay in line with Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules.

Branthwaite played 35 times for Everton in the Premier League last season although was cut from England's Euro 2024 preliminary squad.
