Jarrad Branthwaite, a defender for Everton, is apparently set to join Manchester United this summer on personal terms; Erik ten Hag’s team has not yet reached a deal on the transfer money. According to reports, Everton is seeking a sum of approximately £70 million. If the 21-year-old signs with United, he will make between £150,000 and £160,000 per week.
With Jarrad Branthwaite, the Everton defender, allegedly agreeing to personal terms on a possible move to Old Trafford, Manchester United has advanced in their pursuit of signing him.
According to The Times, United and Everton have not yet reached an agreement on a transfer fee, which is reportedly worth roughly £70 million.
However, the process has advanced significantly, as the source states that Branthwaite’s representatives have reached a deal with United that may result in the 21-year-old receiving a weekly salary of between £150,000 and £160,000.
After a breakthrough season with Everton, 6′ 4″ center-back Branthwaite, who can play with both feet, has emerged as one of the Premier League’s most sought-after young defenders.
Despite the fact that The Toffees were facing an eight-point deduction for violating the league’s Profit and Sustainability Rules, he was instrumental in retaining the team in the top division.
Everton’s financial predicament may compel the team to “cash in on their young star,” according to The Times.
Erik ten Hag, United’s manager, who was confirmed to stay in his position this week, would benefit greatly from the possible transfer.
According to reports, United wants to add two central defenders during the summer season because Raphael Varane’s deal is about to expire. Last season, Ten Hag’s team also had numerous defensive injuries.
According to The Athletic, the Red Devils are also considering signing Lille’s 18-year-old defender Leny Yoro.
Real Madrid is allegedly leading the race to sign the 18-year-old, but both United and Liverpool are apparently keeping a close eye on him.
