If your initial bid is rejected, try again with a better one if you don’t succeed. First, Manchester United offered £35 million to Everton FC in exchange for Jarrad Branthwaite, a central defender.As you can see from the tweet above, Chris Wheeler, a journalist for the Daily Mail, claims that Old Trafford has now raised the stakes and returned to the negotiating table. Even with an extra £5 million in add-ons, the £45 million up front is probably going to be rejected.
Everton is almost guaranteed to win this, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic. This is true even though Branthwaite has long-term personal terms in place for the relocation.
Nevertheless, not much about Branthwaite supports the Toffees’ exorbitant expectations cost to him. He hasn’t demonstrated enough to warrant that money up to this point, and no one truly values him at that level.
However, the current transfer drama appears to be just as tortuous as Harry Maguire’s 2018 move from Leicester City to Manchester United.
