Everton: A transfer update for Jarrad Branthwaite is accompanied by news of a contract clause.

According to the Daily Mail, Everton has reportedly inserted relegation release clauses into recent contract negotiations, including Jarrad Branthwaite’s recent deal.

Despite Branthwaite’s recent links with clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United, it

would require a significant offer for Everton to entertain the idea of selling the 21-year-old defender.

However, if Everton faces relegation to the Championship this season, opposing teams may seek to exploit the club’s financial situation by activating the relegation release clauses included in recent negotiations.

Amidst this uncertainty, Everton is grappling with off-the-field issues, making planning

and preparation for next season challenging.

The potential takeover by 777 Partners remains uncertain, with no clear progress despite approval from the Premier League taking 23 weeks.

Additionally, Everton awaits clarification on whether they will regain any of the 10 points

deducted for financial fair play breaches and face the possibility of a further deduction for a second breach.

The lack of clarity regarding these matters complicates Everton’s ability to retain players

like Branthwaite and other key figures at Goodison Park.

The situation could lead to a tumultuous summer transfer window for the club unless some resolution is reached soon.
