According to reports Manchester United are reportedly set to submit a renewed offer for Everton and England’s centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite after their initial first bid was rejected.
The English defender, who surprisingly missed out on a spot in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024, has emerged as the Red Devil’s top centre-back target this summer after Raphael Varane’s departure.
Man United’s first bid is said to be between £35m and £45m including add-ons, was immediately rejected by Everton.
Close source to the Toffees told Footyvaild reporters, that Everton are keen on a follow up offer from Manchester United, the Englishman is valuable at £80M.
According to the Daily Mail, the United’s Chiefs are readying a second bid for Branthwaite, though it is expected to be below Everton’s asking price of £80m.
It’s said that the Toffees are determined to keep the English defender beyond this summer, but offers around £70m could be considered due to their financial situation at the club.
