Everton is prepared to make their first bids for Jarrad Branthwaite, as Manchester United, Manchester City, and Tottenham all eager to get the highly-regarded defender this summer.

Everton are bracing themselves for opening offers for Jarrad Branthwaite over the coming days.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham have all expressed interest in the 21-year old England hopeful.

United and City are understood to be willing to offer over £50million for the centre back though Everton are expected to dig in their heels over their valuation.

Everton don’t want to sell Branthwaite but there is a recognition that players like him and midfielder Amadou Onana may be their best way of bringing in revenue after director of football Kevin Thelwell last week warned fans to expect sales.

United may offer a player as part of their bid but have other options also with the likes of Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice and Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace on their radar.

It’s understood the 22-year old’s preference would be to move abroad this summer.
