A second offer totaling up to £50 million has been made. Previously, United had made a first offer of £35m plus add-ons, which was rejected by Everton, who felt the offer fell well short of their psychological price tag for the key player.
The latest offer of a £45 million base fee plus £5 million in add-ons is expected to struggle to impress Everton despite the increased amount. United, for their part, are weighing up whether to go ahead and increase their offer in a bid to bring Branswetter into the fold.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are making more than their fair share of moves in the transfer market. Their negotiations with Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich are progressing well, with both sides close to agreeing on the transfer of Dutch center-back Derek De Rijkert. Bayern are looking for a transfer fee of £42.5 million plus add-ons, while United seem to be interested in bringing in two top center-backs at the same time this summer to strengthen the team's backline.
United's strategy in the center back position will also be affected by the departure of existing players. The future of Swedish international Lindelof is uncertain, with Turkish Super League side Fenerbahce showing strong interest. United are also in advanced talks with veteran Evans and his representatives over a new one-year contract.
With the transfer window gradually closing, every move Manchester United makes in the transfer market is particularly crucial. The team management needs to balance the financial budget and the long-term planning of the team while strengthening the squad. Fans are looking forward to United's shrewd transfer operations to further enhance the team's strength and prepare for the upcoming season.
