Everton are reportedly set to offer Jarrad Branthwaite, 22, a substantial new contract to fend off interest from Manchester United and Manchester City. The Toffees have valued the defender at £70 million, a price United is unwilling to meet. Consequently, Branthwaite will miss out on a potential £160,000-a-week move to Old Trafford.

To compensate, Everton will significantly increase his current £40,000 weekly wage. Branthwaite expressed his commitment to Everton, focusing on building from previous seasons and maintaining a strong defensive record. His comments suggest a positive outlook for the upcoming season under the current management.

Meanwhile, Manchester United has signed 18-year-old center-back Leny Yoro from Lille for £52 million. Fans are already praising Yoro’s performance, particularly his defensive skills showcased in a 2-0 win over Rangers. Additionally, United’s manager Erik ten Hag is exploring a reunion with Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt, whom he previously coached at Ajax.

Here is the season highlight video of Jarrad Branthwaite.
