Everton soccer team
Plans for young center backs
Branswetter (name)
Offering a new contract with a significant pay rise in response to interest from giants such as Manchester United. Currently, Brathwaite is earning just £40,000 a week, while United had offered him a £160,000-a-week contract, but the deal failed to materialize due to a disagreement over the transfer fee.
Manchester United have moved on to other targets such as Lille center back Jolo and Bayern's Drieht after missing out on Branswetter. Everton, in a bid to prevent Branswetter from being poached, have decided to increase his pay package to ensure he stays at Goodison Park.
Branswetter's current contract expires in 2025 and Everton are hoping to not only increase his wages but also extend his contract with this extension. Everton's move shows their recognition of Branswetter's long-term value and reflects their firm stance in the transfer market.
It will be an important career decision for Branswetter. He will need to weigh his personal income and career development to decide whether to accept Everton's new contract. And for Everton, keeping Branswetter will not only help stabilize the team, but is also an important part of their future strategy.
