Everton sets £75m asking price for Jarrad Branthwaite

Everton has reportedly set a high asking price of approximately £75 million for defender Jarrad Branthwaite as Manchester United continues to monitor the player for a potential move in 2027.

Manchester United remains interested in the 24-year-old following his return to the England squad, though interest had previously cooled due to injury concerns. Branthwaite missed 31 matches last season with hamstring injuries, making his physical durability a key factor for United's scouts to monitor this season.

With Branthwaite under contract at Everton until June 2030, the club holds a strong negotiating position and faces no immediate pressure to sell. While a transfer in January is considered unlikely, United is evaluating defensive reinforcements for the long term.
