Manchester City have now been told how much it will cost to sign Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton.
It was TEAMtalk who provided the figure.
So, how much do Manchester City need to bid to sign Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton? Let’s take a look…
Manchester City told Jarrad Branthwaite price
Well, the treble winners will have to make the Everton No.32 one of the most expensive signings in club history if Pep Guardiola is to bring him to the Etihad Stadium.
The story from TEAMtalk states that Everton would like £75m to part ways with Branthwaite after his stunning start to the 2023/24 campaign.
That would make the 21-year-old Manchester City’s third most expensive signing behind the £100m Jack Grealish and the £77.6m Josko Gvardiol.
It was the Daily Mail who initially revealed that the Citizens would like to sign Branthwaite as Guardiola aims to improve his backline.
The Carlisle-born defender has been a formidable presence under Sean Dyche this season, starting 14 of Everton’s 16 Premier League outings.
Impressively, the Toffees and Branthwaite would be sitting tenth in the Premier League right now had those ten points not been deducted.
Manchester City must be patient with Jarrad Branthwaite
In our view, Manchester City must wait a while before submitting a bid, as the England Under-21 international’s stock is very high right now.
Branthwaite – who has been compared to Declan Rice – only recently signed a new contract at Goodison Park which runs until June 2027.
That, coupled with the fact he is shining in the Premier League on a weekly basis, means his value is as high as it may ever be, so Manchester City would be wise to wait for the dust to settle.
Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as Manchester United and Tottenham are also looking to sign Branthwaite – according to the aforementioned story by TEAMtalk.
