United believe Branthwaite could be the solution to their defensive issues and the left-sided centre-back they’ve been seeking. The Englishman had an impressive breakout season with Everton and is predicted to achieve great success. According to The Echo, United’s leadership is confident they can secure Branthwaite before the month ends.
Everton values Branthwaite similarly to Josko Gvardiol and Wesley Fofana. Man City paid £77 million ($98m) for Gvardiol, and Chelsea spent £75m ($96m) on Fofana. Therefore, United can expect a fee of around £75m for Branthwaite.
Despite Everton’s financial challenges, they are not in a hurry to sell their promising defender. The Toffees intend to demand a record fee for Branthwaite and prefer to sell other squad players first. Amadou Onana, linked with Arsenal, could potentially be sold to relieve some financial pressure on Everton.
Whatever fee Branthwaite is sold for, League One side Carlisle United will benefit from a significant portion of the deal. They sold Branthwaite to Everton for £1m with a sell-on clause guaranteeing 15% of any profits made.
After being omitted from the England squad for the European Championships, Branthwaite will watch as his teammates face Serbia on 16 June in their tournament opener. The defender may well be with a new club by the time the tournament concludes.
