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.
Branthwaite played 35 times for Everton in the Premier League last season although was cut from England's Euro 2024 preliminary squad. Recruiting in the heart of defence has been marked as a priority for FA Cup winners Manchester United this summer. Raphael Varane is leaving at the end of the month when his deal expires, while Jonny Evans has been offered a contract to stay on at Old Trafford.
