Everton have put a £70million price tag on defender Jarrad Branthwaite this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the Toffees will demand the huge fee for the centre-back amid interest from Premier League and European clubs.
It is believed that the likes of Man United, Real Madrid, Newcastle United and Man City are all monitoring the 21-year-old’s situation at Goodison Park ahead of the summer transfer window.
However, well-placed sources have told Football Insider that Sean Dyche’s side could accept a cut-price deal for the Englishman amid their financial struggles.
