Everton is preparing a new contract offer for Jarrad Branthwaite to fend off interest from Manchester United. The Premier League club has rejected two bids from United, with the latest proposal valued at \u00a340 million plus add-ons. Everton is holding out for \u00a370 million and is determined to keep the 22-year-old centre-back unless a significantly higher bid comes in.<\/p>\n
Manchester United, which had already agreed on personal terms with Branthwaite and offered him a salary of \u00a3160,000 per week compared to his current \u00a340,000, is reluctant to meet Everton\u2019s asking price. The Red Devils have shifted their focus to Leny Yoro, an 18-year-old French defender, after their attempts to sign Branthwaite were unsuccessful. United secured Yoro from Lille for up to \u00a358.9 million.<\/p>\n
Everton\u2019s new contract proposal aims to increase Branthwaite\u2019s salary, a move designed to both reward him and deter other potential suitors. The club\u2019s firm stance reflects their commitment to retaining the young talent unless an exceptionally high offer is made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
