Jarrad Branthwaite has been making waves in the football world, catching the eye of top teams like Manchester United. As the summer transfer window approaches, Everton manager Sean Dyche is hopeful of keeping the talented centre-back on the team. However, he also acknowledges that the club's financial situation may force them to sell Branthwaite if the right offer comes along.
After an impressive season in the Premier League, Branthwaite has become a top target for Manchester United. Despite already signing two defenders, the Red Devils are still considering making a move for the 22-year-old before the window closes. This puts Everton in a difficult position as they balance the desire to keep their best players with the need to improve their financial situation.
Dyche understands the challenges facing the club and has been working closely with Kev Thelwell to bring in revenue and reduce the wage bill. However, the bigger picture of the club's finances ultimately depends on the amount of money needed at any given time. This is especially true as Everton continues to pursue a new takeover, with American businessman John Textor reportedly in talks to take over the club. However, this would require him to first sell his 45% share in fellow Premier League club Crystal Palace.
This news comes after previous attempts to secure a takeover from other parties have fallen through. As the season begins, Everton will have to face Brighton without Branthwaite, who has been dealing with a groin injury. Club captain Seamus Coleman, James Garner, Nathan Patterson, and young striker Youssef Chermiti will also be missing from the lineup. Despite this setback, Dyche remains hopeful as the players continue to make progress in their recoveries.
As the transfer window draws to a close, Dyche knows that he may still have to face the possibility of losing Branthwaite or other key players if the right offer is made. However, he remains confident in the club's efforts to remain competitive and balance their finances. Only time will tell how the situation unfolds, but for now, Dyche and Everton are focused on securing a successful start to their season.
