Keith Wyness, former Everton chief, is confident that Everton has the potential to sell Jarrad Branthwaite for a staggering fee of £100 million this summer. In a recent interview on Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the seasoned 66-year-old, who previously held the position of CEO at Goodison Park, emphasized the importance of such a sale in improving the club’s financial situation.
Wyness, who now operates a football consultancy for top-tier clubs, has indicated that Everton may need to offload assets like Branthwaite, Amadou Onana, and Jordan Pickford to address their financial challenges. This decision comes in light of the club’s significant financial losses of £89.1 million for the previous campaign and penalties imposed for breaching the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules.
Branthwaite, who was acquired for a modest £1 million from Carlisle in 2020, has caught the attention of top clubs, including Real Madrid. Wyness believes that Everton could earn a remarkable profit on their investment in Branthwaite, potentially reaching the £100 million mark. With the young defender’s talent and recent call-up to the England squad, Wyness sees great potential for a lucrative transfer deal that could significantly impact Everton’s finances.
