'Give me the club's highest transfer fee'...CBS prospect that Manchester United is aiming for, Everton's price tag is '165 billion'
Manchester United's plan to strengthen its power is not going easy. This time, it faced a huge demand for transfer fees.
"Manchester United have been asked to pay Everton star Jarrod Branswaite the highest transfer fee in the club's history."
Manchester United received high expectations this season as well, finishing third in the league and winning the League Cup last season with Erik tenhach's appointment.
He also had a busy transfer window. He successfully strengthened his team by recruiting a number of players, including Mason Mount, Andre Onana, Rasmus Huairun, and Sofyan Amrabat, whom Ten Hag wanted.
However, the performance was not good enough. The league remained in seventh place and received a flurry of criticism for its performance. The European Champions League was eliminated in the group stage, staying at the bottom of the group stage.
The winter transfer market has become important for a rebound. Manchester United has already invested a lot of money in player investment, but it is urgent to supply and demand new players as injuries and slumps continue in various positions such as center backs, strikers, and midfield.
Manchester United has been linked with a number of players, especially with the news that the team is seeking to reinforce its center back. Jean-Claire Todibo (Nice) and Radu Dragucine (Genoa) were also on the list, and Branswaite was also included in the list. However, Everton responded with a huge demand for transfer fee to Manchester United's interest in Branswaite.
The Sun said, "Everton has put a price tag of £100 million on Branswaite. Everton are determined to keep Branswaite despite financial uncertainties. They believe Branswaite can become a starting member of the English national team. The £100 million request is the highest fee for a defender ever, and it will exceed Paul Pogba's £89 million, which was the most expensive contract in Manchester United's history," explaining that Everton have asked for a fee that Manchester United cannot offer.
Branswaite made his professional debut at Carlisle United, the third division of England, in 2018. Afterwards, he wore a Everton jersey in 2020, and he laid the foundation for the starting line-up by renting Blackburn and PSV Eindhoven. With the ability to control stable offerings and the ability to build up the rear, he has grown steadily while increasing his playing time.
After returning from a loan spell at Eindhoven this season, Branswaite settled down as Everton's starting center back. Manager Sean Dyche appointed Branswaite and James Tacowski as the starting pitchers, both of whom are contributing significantly to the rise of Everton.
If Manchester United brings Branswaite, it can be a great help to reinforce the current power and replace the generation of center backs. However, it is unlikely that Branswaite will be brought in by investing the highest transfer fee ever in the club. The fact that Manchester United has never had a successful case among players who have invested a huge transfer fee is also a drag.
If Branswaite is given up, Manchester United should look for additional center backs that can be recruited at a time when it is reported that Todibo has already entered negotiations with Tottenham.
The Sun also said, "Raphael Varane could leave the club as early as January, so no matter what contract is signed, he can say the end," adding the reason why Manchester United should quickly reinforce the center back. 스포츠토토
