Everton have turned down the most recent offer from Manchester United for Jarrad Branthwaite, stating that they would not sell the England international for a lowball price.

On Monday night, United made a second bid of £45m plus £5m add-ons for the 21-year-old defender. That followed last month’s offer of £35m plus £10m add-ons and was again immediately rejected.

Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano in a post on his X account on Tuesday morning wrote: “Everton have already rejected Man United bid for Jarred Branthwaite on Monday night, as soon as they received it.

“£45m plus £5m add-ons considered as proposal far from price tag, as Everton see Branthwaite similar to Gvardiol and more top players.”

Everton revealed Branthwaite is worth almost £70 million. The central defender’s exceptional performance during his Premier League debut season is the basis for their valuation.
