Liverpool preparing blockbuster first offer for Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite with Man Utd in danger of missing out on top target

The Reds are yet to make their first signing of the summer, having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-massive-blow-real-sociedad-martin-zubimendi-final-decision-eur60m-transfer/blta9de8d0b30d97541" target="_blank">failed to lure main target Martin Zubimendi</a> away from Real Sociedad. As they close in on another La Liga star in the form of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-transfer-latest-giorgi-mamardashvili-close-agreeing-reds-move-valencia-goalkeeper/bltb47a4d09152a8d86" target="_blank">Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili</a>, Liverpool are now reportedly also ready to make a bid for Everton's Branthwaite.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/30040944/liverpool-transfer-branthwaite-everton-move/" target="_blank">The Sun</a> claim that Liverpool have prepared a mammoth offer worth £63 million ($82.7m) plus £7 million ($9.1m) in add-ons to try and sign the centre-back from their Merseyside rivals. The highly-rated 22-year-old has been a major target for Manchester United, who have had two bids rejected by the Toffees, with the latest offer <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-not-giving-up-on-jarrad-branthwaite-transfer-failed-everton-defender-touted-liverpool-switch/blt701676cfa80f6f18" target="_blank">reported to be around £50 million ($65.6m)</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Red Devils have already signed two centre-backs this summer in the form of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erik-ten-hag-man-utd-confirm-double-signing-matthijs-de-ligt-noussair-mazraoui/blt7d168169ca631949" target="_blank">Matthijs de Ligt</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-lenny-yoro-red-devils-real-madrid-liverpool-gbp52m-lille-star/blt6c20f3f16147a47e#cs32b66a79edfbeb6d" target="_blank">Leny Yoro</a>. As such, United will likely not be pulled into a bidding war against Liverpool this summer.

DID YOU KNOW?

<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/liverpool-joe-gomez-transfer-england-defender-future-anfield/bltc0b1e32de78be38e" target="_blank">Liverpool and Slot are open to selling Joe Gomez</a> before the end of the transfer window with Newcastle United reportedly knocking on the door. The sale would mean that the Reds will be able to go all-out to try and sign Branthwaite before the transfer window closes at 11 PM BST on August 30.
