Right now, the Red Devils and Everton are negotiating Jarrad Branthwaite's move. They and the center back have reached personal terms, but the cost is still a barrier. The Toffees are unwilling to accept anything less than £70m for the 21-year-old's talents, despite United's offer of £35 million plus £8 million in simple add-ons. While INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are preparing a better offer for the Englishman, they have made it plain that they will not be kept hostage throughout the player's quest.
The team is willing to go after other goals in the event that the Toffees stick to their position. According to A Bola, Sporting is attempting to offload Ousmane Diomande before the end of June in order to balance their budget. If he leaves, they are ready to pay between £42 and £51 million.
