2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Toffeelover]

Why have Everton given them permission to speak with him and agree personal terms if they are not selling him?

He’s 100% gone.

Where did you get that from ?

We haven't.

Well if he’s agreed personal terms, they must have given permission.

Every media outlet is stating personal terms agreed.

 

[Thomasc]

We haven't.

How can he agree personal terms then?

I see they've done the same thing for a player at Barcelona. They signed him for £50 million last season and United have offered £25 million

I remember them offering a pittance in a double swoop for Fellaini and Baines and ended up giving us more than that combined offer just for Screech.
It's all a game, other clubs will be watching the situation and keeping their cards close to their chest seeing how the United bid unfolds.
Let's see who blinks first.

I'd rather the PSR charge than sell him for less than £60m

 

[Nymzee]

How can he agree personal terms then?

Because United have spoken to him/his agents it seems.

That could be a half truth, (seems its the day for it) depends on who his agent is, and for how long this possible move has been on the cards for.

Isn’t that tapping up?

Isn’t that tapping up?

Essentially but no one ever gets done for it anymore.

We haven't.

If personal terms have been agreed as has been widely reported then according to the PL rules they must have our written consent to speak to him (and that includes approaching his agent).

If not we should push for punishment. Can’t apply one rule such as p&s but not another when it suits.

I think there's a chance that JB's alright with staying as long as the club doesn't refuse to entertain a potential transfer. If Utd. came to us and we told them to do one, it would probably rub him the wrong way, but if we went back to JB and said "Utd. isn't meeting our valuation for you." then at least it shows that the club's willing to cooperate.

Might explain how he's been approached by them for personal terms without too much of a push for the completion of the transfer.

 

[Gallaeo]

Fairly sure I’ve read that he isn’t pushing to move. If it was City / Real that might change tho!

No club goes after tapping up anymore.

SSN:

Everton value Jarrad Branthwaite at more than the £60-70m figure which has been widely reported, Sky Sports News understands.

They see the 21-year-old in a similar transfer bracket to Josko Gvardiol, Harry Maguire and Wesley Fofana - all of whom were sold for higher fees in recent windows.

Everton naturally regard the defender as a key player and intend to keep him in this window, having rejected Man Utd's opening bid of around £35m plus add-ons.

Toffees director of football Kevin Thelwell admitted last month that players will be sold this summer as Everton attempt to improve their financial condition from a PSR perspective.
