JAKARTA - Liverpool want to enliven the hunt for players from their rival camp, Everton, namely Jarrad Branthwaite.

The Reds are surprisingly ready to spend 63 million pounds plus 7 million pounds for the centre-back.

The offer clearly shocked Manchester United, who had been eyeing Branthwaite for a long time. This means that the Red Devils must have a more attractive offer so that the Everton defender is not taken by Liverpool.

Previously, Manchester United had last made a 50 million offer, but Everton still refused. The offer is the second time.

The Toffees manager, Sean Dyche, admits he is willing to sell any player at the right price.

It doesn't really matter if Brantwaite moves to Liverpool or Manchester United. You see, he has expressed his desire to leave Everton to join the club with a high profile.

Currently, he has a contract of up to 2027 with Everton with a salary of 60,000 pounds a week.

However, it is not a big problem, especially for Liverpool. Moreover, the 22-year-old player was lured by a three-fold increase in salary.

The Reds are eager to land Branthwaite. In addition to the need to deepen the back line, Arne Slot has also long admired the player.

The transfer of players to the Merseyside rivals will also not be a big problem. After all, there are traces of several names doing that.

The last person Everton sold to Liverpool was Abel Xavier for 800,000 pounds in 2002.

Apart from that, Liverpool are ready to sell Joe Gomez. The deal with Newcastle United failed at a 45 million offer.

Even so, Gomez is not empty of fans. Chelsea is ready to bid for the defender.

Kemudian, bek tengah asal Belanda, Sepp van den Berg, juga dilepas dan akan bergabung Brentford dengan kesepakatan 30 juta pound, 25 juta di antaranya dibayar di muka.

Midfielder Bobby Clark was also released to Red Bull Salzburg in a 10 million deal.

It didn't stop there, Valencia guard Giorgi Mamardashvili, almost arriving at Anfield in a dowry of 30 million, but is likely to be loaned out in the instant.

Liverpool have a week to finalize the deal this summer. The transfer window will close on Friday, August 30, 2024.
