Jarrad Branthwaite’s potential transfer from Everton to Manchester United is currently on hold, as reported by Fabrizio Romano via GiveMeSport on Sunday, July 14. Everton is not open to negotiating with Manchester United for the defender and is unwilling to accept a reduced offer.
Manchester United remains hopeful that Everton will change their position before the transfer window closes, and they believe that Branthwaite is still interested in moving to Old Trafford this summer. However, Everton’s tough negotiating stance has stalled the transfer talks between the two clubs.
With Amadou Onana nearing a move to Aston Villa, Everton does not feel the need to sell Branthwaite unless their valuation is met, and Manchester United is not currently prepared to meet that price.
The situation could change rapidly, but for the transfer to proceed quickly, Manchester United will need to increase their offer rather than Everton lowering their valuation. The outcome may also depend on Manchester United’s success in securing other defensive targets. Their interest in Branthwaite could shift based on these factors.
Everton fans will be hoping the club remains firm in its negotiations to keep one of their promising talents at Goodison Park. If Manchester United presents a more substantial offer, talks might resume.
