Everton May Sell Branthwaite or Calvert-Lewin, Says Borson

Finance expert Stefan Borson suggests Everton may be forced to sell one of their star players

Branthwaite, linked to Manchester United, could be sacrificed after takeover collapse

Financial expert Stefan Borson has stated that Everton may be pressured into selling either Jarrad Branthwaite or Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the wake of their failed takeover deal. The collapse of the Friedkin Group's bid to acquire the club has cast doubt on their financial stability.

Borson, speaking to Football Insider, highlighted the potential impact of the failed deal: "It's a big blow to Everton and it could have a significant impact on their transfer plans." He went on to suggest that selling one of their big-name players could be a necessary measure to balance the books.

Despite the uncertainty, Everton have maintained that they will not be swayed by Manchester United's attempts to exploit the situation and secure Branthwaite on a budget deal. However, the Daily Mirror reports that the defender's future at Goodison Park remains uncertain, with the club's financial situation playing a key role.

Manchester United's interest in Branthwaite could be rekindled by the collapse of the takeover. The Red Devils had previously been linked with the young defender, and the potential availability of funds may encourage them to pursue a deal.

The outcome of this transfer saga remains to be seen. Everton will need to navigate their financial challenges without compromising their long-term ambitions. The fate of Branthwaite and Calvert-Lewin could have a significant impact on the club's future prospects.
