Jarrad Branthwaite assurance emerges after new Everton transfer development as player set to agree deal with Manchester United

Everton are expecting another avalanche of interest in Jarrad Branthwaite this summer from many elite clubs in England and wider Europe.

The England defender has once again impressed since settling back from injury and is excelling in David Moyes’ new-look side – with largely the same players.
Manchester United led the charge for Branthwaite last summer but the Toffees stood firm, and will be bracing for another round of contact and potential bids.

Everton have to give certain assurance to Branthwaite

Branthwaite has two years remaining on his contract and may be reluctant to sign new terms, even if they make him the highest-paid Everton player.

Bryan King is among those to have suggested Everton could be willing to pay Branthwaite £150,000 per week in an attempt to keep him on Merseyside.
Everton have to give certain assurance to Branthwaite.
“He’s always going to attract offers, so then it’s a question of whether his head gets turned. It might also depend on the level of ambition at Everton in the new stadium, whether or not it’ll just be a relegation battle.

“Every player has his price, and it would be a big fee which you could see happening.”

Friedkins moving quickly to elevate Toffees

It appears externally as if The Friedkin Group have wasted no time in looking to restore Everton to become the glorious team they once were.

Plenty of movement has already taken place behind the scenes including a debut event at Bramley-Moore Dock and of course Moyes’ return.

It looks as if Leeds United CEO Angus Kinnear could be on his way to Everton in the summer after an anticipated second promotion at Elland Road, having previously worked with West Ham United in their transition from Upton Park to the London Stadium in 2016.
The Friedkins are analysing the credentials of figureheads they want to see lead the club in different areas, which can only be encouraging for the supporters.

Should Branthwaite also recognise that, he may feel it a little too early to be moving to an “elite” outfit just yet.
