Sporty360 has been informed that Everton's acquisition of Jake O'Brien is not contingent upon the prospective departure of Jarrad Branthwaite, a Manchester United target.
Lyon and the Merseyside club have agreed to bring the Republic of Ireland defender to the club in a deal worth up to £22 million. Everton, however, is remaining steadfast in their assessment of Branthwaite.
According to sources at the club, the club's valuation of the defender has not been affected by the takeover situation, and they anticipate his presence for the upcoming season.
Sean Dyche, the head coach of Everton, is reportedly seeking three first-team quality center-backs for the upcoming season. O'Brien and Branthwaite can be deployed in tandem. Ben Godfrey's departure to Atalanta has made the club feel like they are a center-back down.
As we understand, there is interest from various clubs in Michael Keane and Mason Holgate, which could also impede Branthwaite's transfer to Old Trafford.

Additionally, Everton is seeking to enhance their left-back position. They have expressed interest in Ricardo Rodriguez, a free agent representing Switzerland at Euro 2024 this summer.

Nevertheless, they fiercely compete with Inter Milan, which is also interested in acquiring Rodriguez's services.
In the interim, it has been reported that Everton has diminished their enthusiasm for buying Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds. Sporty360 exclusively disclosed in June 2023 that the winger has been a target for the club since last year and is amenable to a transfer. Everton is currently investigating alternative market options.
As previously reported, the 23-year-old center-back O'Brien is anticipated to endure a medical with Everton today.
O'Brien, who is 6 feet 6 inches tall, transferred from Crystal Palace to Lyon last year and has since appeared in 27 matches in Ligue 1. Lyon will receive a sell-on clause at 10%, while the Eagles are anticipated to receive £3m of the total transfer fee.
Jasper Lindstrom, Tim Iroegbunam, and Iliman Ndiaye have already been recruited by Everton to play at Goodison Park. In the interim, Dele Alli continues to train with the team.
