Everton raise the price on Real Madrid and Man United transfer target

Everton are currently facing significant financial problems, which periodically translate into the withdrawal of points from the team. Against this backdrop, the Toffees are ready to monetise interest in one of their leaders as much as possible.

Thus, earlier it was reported about the interest of Real Madrid and Manchester United in Everton defender Jarrad Braithwaite, and now Football Insider reports that the Liverpool club have jacked up the price tag for the 21-year-old player to £70 million.

Admittedly, this is more of a desperation move, as it is ultimately thought that Sean Dyche's team could still go for a price cut in order to sell their player before the 30th of June. That is the deadline set in order to improve their position in the context of financial fair-play.

It was previously reported that Braithwaite is a priority candidate to strengthen the centre of Manchester United's defence.
