BREAKING NEWS: Coming From Fabrizio Romano, Give Me Your ICEMAN And We Will Give Our Youngster Everton Gives Manchester United Condition. Everton Is Pushing For A Deal That Includes Manchester United Defender Victor Lindelof Plus Cash In Exchange For Jarrad Branthwaite’s Move To Old Trafford

Everton is considering Victor Lindelof as a potential replacement for Jarrad Branthwaite, with news emerging that Manchester United has agreed on personal terms with the 21-year-old Everton center-back for a summer transfer. United reportedly made an initial bid of £45 million for the England international, though it is expected to be rejected by Everton, who have set a hefty asking price of £80 million.

Despite this, reports suggest that Manchester United remains confident the transfer will be completed by the end of the month. As negotiations continue, Everton has been actively exploring replacement options, with Northern Ireland’s Dan Ballard being discussed. However, recent reports indicate that their primary defensive target might actually facilitate United’s acquisition of Branthwaite.

According to HITC, Everton has identified potential replacements for Branthwaite, who is nearing a move to Manchester United. One notable player Everton has targeted is Victor Lindelof, with Manchester United open to letting the Swedish defender leave Old Trafford this summer. Lindelof has had an inconsistent season at United, and with the club closing in on Branthwaite, he may view this as the right time to move on.

In addition to Lindelof, HITC reports that Everton is also interested in Hull City’s Jacob Greaves. The 24-year-old defender is one of several names on Everton’s list of potential defensive recruits, underscoring the club’s proactive approach in preparing for Branthwaite’s likely departure.
