Everton intends to “sacrifice” star player in order to retain Jarrad Branthwaite.

According to sources who spoke to Football Insider, Everton intends to “sacrifice” Amadou Onana this summer in an effort to retain Jarrad Branthwaite on staff.

Onana, 22, is a player that Bayern Munich is very interested in signing this summer as they plan additions to their defensive midfield.
Prior to the summer transfer window, Football Insider reported in March that West Ham is once again interested in the Belgium international.

Everton is aware that in order to stay out of trouble with Premier League financial regulations, they will have to sell players this summer.

Early on May 3, sources informed Football Insider that Everton was attempting to convince Branthwaite to play one more season.

Everton will “sacrifice” Onana, according to a new plan

At the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, it is anticipated that the player’s camp and the Merseysiders will hold urgent negotiations.
Ahead of the summer transfer window, Man United has set their sights on the Englishman as their top defensive target.

Branthwaite became an important player for Everton after returning from a loan at PSV Eindhoven last season, and his outstanding performances earned him a call-up to the England squad.
This season, he has made 40 starts in all competitions. In October 2023, he inked a new four-year contract at Goodison Park.

Onana, meanwhile, has made 36 appearances for Sean Dyche’s team this season across all competitions, starting 29 of those games.

Even though they were docked nine points this season, Everton is safe as they currently sit in 15th place in the Premier League.
