Manchester United transfer news as update emerges on Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite

The Evening Standard (January 15) reports that other Premier League teams are after the defensive pair, while the Mirror claims that they are the Red Devils’ top two center-back targets. The Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou was also reportedly interested in Todibo, according to a December story from The Standard.

“It seems the two names on the Center-half shortlist are Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and Nice’s Jean Clair Todibo,” the Mirror stated in their blog post on January 15 at 12:40 p.m.Sir Jim Ratcliffe also owns Nice, which may facilitate a trade for Todibo, who has a lot of fans. “Teams in the Premier League have been considering Branthwaite highly for a number of years.”

Everton must maintain a steadfast stance on Branthwaite amidst Manchester United’s interest and their increased spending potential due to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s recent 25% ownership takeover. Branthwaite, a promising young center-back, is highly regarded by teams in the Premier League and his potential departure should only occur on the Toffees’ terms.

Everton can afford to hang out for a valuation that fairly represents Branthwaite’s skill, potential, and market demand because of the new ownership’s financial support. The team shouldn’t give in to pressure or hurry into a deal for the 21-year-old that is less than what they think it is worth.

Furthermore, Branthwaite should only go if Everton receives a sizable payment that is in line with his market value because he is a homegrown talent who has attracted attention for a number of years. In order to guarantee that any possible transaction involving Branthwaite serves the club’s long-term goals and financial interests, the Merseyside team must emphasize their dedication to preserving and safeguarding their assets.
