The Italian transfer journalist reported on 8 July that the Toffees continue to insist on their valuation of the defender, which is around £65m-£70m.
Manchester United’s proposal, a formal and official £50 million bid with a £45 million fee up front and a further £5 million in add-ons, was rejected, with Romano noting there is “no deal again at this stage.”

Manchester United previously made a £35 million offer for Branthwaite with £8 million in add-ons, which was immediately rejected.

Sean Dyche is reluctant to lose Branthwaite, but if a sale becomes inevitable, he would have to leave him,
