This summer, Manchester United was eager to get Jarrad Branthwaite but Liverpool is currently moving quickly to grab the signing.
The Everton center defender is already on the Red Devils’ want list, and they have even worked out personal terms with him. The bid is valued at £50 million.
The transfer hasn’t gone through, though, as the Anfield team is now willing to pay the demands after failing to reach the Toffees’ asking price.
Liverpool wants to snatch Jarrad Branthwaite away from Manchester United.
It will come as a tremendous shock to see Everton move one of their greatest players to their fiercest rivals, since the Reds have not bought a player directly from the Blue side of Merseyside in almost 20 years.

Liverpool is prepared to pay an initial £63 million and £7 million in add-ons to complete the signing of Branthwaite in a deal valued at £70 million.
The young player is eager to relocate to Anfield since he would be able to earn a substantial income of about £180,000 per week.
Being one of the most promising center backs in England at age 22, Jarrad would be a huge addition to Arne Slot’s club if they can complete this transaction, reported by Faithful MUFC.
Although Manchester United may have agreed to the asking amount, it’s possible that they broke the bank to buy Leny Yoro from Lille because they were certain he was superior.
To be honest, there isn’t much space at Old Trafford for another center back now that Ten Hag has chosen to team up with Matthijs de Ligt, his former captain of Ajax.
