Manchester United is eyeing a stunning double deal to sign Everton duo Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jarrad Branthwaite for a combined fee of £80million. According to Bryan King, a former Goodison scout, the Toffees would be happy to accept £80million for both players, considering Calvert-Lewin’s contract expires next summer and Branthwaite has been a long-term target for the Red Devils.
King believes that a double deal would be a shrewd move for all parties involved. “I could see Calvert-Lewin moving to Manchester United,” King said in an exclusive interview with Goodison News. “Perhaps it will be a double deal. I think Everton would be happy with £80million for Branthwaite and Calvert-Lewin.”
Calvert-Lewin, 27, has been a key player for Everton, scoring 56 goals in 183 appearances. However, with only one year left on his contract, the striker has indicated that he is eager to move to a bigger club. Manchester United’s interest in Calvert-Lewin comes as a surprise, but it makes sense given their need for a reliable goal-scorer.
Branthwaite, on the other hand, has been a long-term target for Manchester United. The 21-year-old defender has impressed for Everton’s youth team and has already attracted interest from top clubs. A package deal for both players would be a smart move for Manchester United, allowing them to strengthen their squad in two areas.
For Everton, selling Calvert-Lewin and Branthwaite would be a difficult decision, but it might be the best option in the long run. Losing Calvert-Lewin for free next summer would be a significant blow, and selling him now would at least bring in a substantial transfer fee. Branthwaite’s departure would also allow the club to cash in on his potential.
The transfer saga has sparked excitement among Manchester United fans, who are eager to see the club sign new players this summer. While the deal is not yet confirmed, it is clear that Manchester United is serious about strengthening their squad.
In other Everton news, the club is set to make a transfer decision amid financial concerns. The Toffees are keen to offload players to balance their books, and Calvert-Lewin and Branthwaite might be the first to leave.
As the transfer window heats up, fans are eagerly anticipating what the future holds for their beloved clubs. One thing is certain – the potential double deal between Manchester United and Everton would be a significant coup for the Red Devils and a shrewd piece of business for the Toffees.
