United tell Everton to put a "realistic" price tag on Branthwaite

Manchester United remain confident in their ability to secure a summer transfer for Everton's 21-year-old centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite. However, the Red Devils have urged Everton to adopt a more "realistic" stance regarding their valuation of the player, as reported by the Mirror.

United's initial offer, which included £35 million upfront plus an additional £8 million in potential add-ons, was swiftly rejected by Everton. The Toffees have made it clear that they are seeking a transfer fee in the region of £70 million for Branthwaite, a price tag that Manchester United considers inflated.
