Man Utd hold interest in Everton's Branthwaite at €95m ask

Written on 23 Oct 2026, before the latest reports. The ring above is live.

The situation

Manchester United retain an interest in Jarrad Branthwaite, the 24-year-old Everton defender, as they weigh a defensive rebuild pencilled in for 2027. This is interest, not an offer. No bid has been lodged, no talks are described as advanced, and Everton hold a commanding hand: Branthwaite is tied down until June 2030, and the asking price being floated is a hefty €95m against a market value nearer €40m. For now the story sits at the earliest, softest stage.

The reporting

The link traces to a single outlet, FootballTransfers, carrying mid-level credibility. There is no corroboration from a benchmark reporter, no second voice firming up the detail. One source framing United's want does not make a negotiation, and the sourcing here is thin rather than broken by a heavyweight.

The outlook

As things stand this is a long shot. For it to gather pace, United would need to table something close to Everton's valuation, and Everton would need a reason to sell a contracted defender they are under no pressure to move. The gap between a reported €95m ask and a €40m valuation is the obvious brake, and nothing yet suggests either club is bridging it.
