Manchester United have made a second bid for Everton defender Jarrod Branthwaite, believed to be in the region of £45m plus an extra £5m.
Everton are expected to reject the bid.
Sky Sports News Everton announced last month that United’s first bid had been rejected, significantly lowering their valuation of the defender, with the offer worth £35m plus add-ons, according to a source.
Everton consider Branthwaite a key player.
Despite being left out of England’s Euro 2024 preliminary squad, Brandtwide played 35 times for Everton in the Premier League last season.
The center of defense has been marked as a recruitment priority for FA Cup winners Manchester United this summer, with Raphael Varane among the players to leave Old Trafford at the end of last season.
The 2024 summer transfer window The Premier League and Scottish Premiership are officially open.
The window closes on August 30 at 11pm UK time and 11.30pm in Scotland.
The Premier League and Scottish Premiership introduced Deadline Day to join the other major leagues in Europe. The final dates were set following discussions with the leagues of England, Germany, Italy, Spain and France.
