Branthwaite exit ‘to benefit everybody’ after major Everton transfer news..
Jarrad Branthwaite’s time with Everton could be coming to an end after a major transfer update.
Everton will be targeting a big summer as they make the move from Goodison Park to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, where they will hope to push on after a turbulent few years.
Several players are out of contract at the end of the season, including Abdoulaye Doucoure, who has already confirmed his Everton exit.
Therefore, there will be holes that need filling in the Everton squad, and Branthwaite could be another player who needs replacing.

Some supporters right be frustrated to see Branthwaite leave. However, ex-Goodison scout Bryan King – speaking exclusively to Goodison News – believes an exit could be beneficial for all parties involved.
“I’m sure this would benefit Branthwaite financially,” King said.
“If Everton can’t match what Chelsea are prepared to offer him, it becomes very difficult, because you don’t want a player feeling sorry for himself because he missed out on a big move.
“Therefore, if Everton can square up the books with a big sale, this could be a move which is of benefit to everybody. I’m not sure whether Chelsea is the right club for Branthwaite, but there will be big money involved, and he could probably set himself up for life.”

Everton should think carefully before letting Branthwaite leave
While it is understandable that Everton will want to recoup funds ahead of the new season in their new stadium, they must consider all options before selling Branthwaite.
If the 22-year-old does leave, Everton would need to line up a suitable replacement before his departure.
Talents like Branthwaite are difficult to come by and even harder to replace, and the last thing Everton will want is to start the next season with a gaping hole in the back. Therefore, if Everton opt to sell Branthwaite, they must reinvest the funds collected from his transfer well.
