Everton fans have been left buzzing after Jarrad Branthwaite posted a cryptic message on social media, following an update from manager David Moyes on a reported offer from Real Madrid.
According to sources, Real Madrid had submitted a ridiculous offer for Branthwaite’s services, which was swiftly rejected by Everton. Moyes had been asked about the offer in a press conference, and his response had sparked widespread speculation among fans.
After Moyes’ update, Branthwaite took to social media to post a simple yet intriguing message: “Focused on the present”. The post was accompanied by a photo of Branthwaite in action for Everton, and it quickly racked up hundreds of likes and comments from fans.
Fans were quick to interpret Branthwaite’s message as a sign that he is committed to Everton and not interested in leaving the club, despite the reported interest from Real Madrid.
“I think Jarrad is saying he’s happy at Everton and isn’t interested in leaving,” said one fan on Twitter. “Fair play to him, he’s got a great future ahead of him and I’m glad he’s committed to the Toffees.”
Another fan added: “Branthwaite’s post says it all. He’s focused on helping Everton achieve success, not on chasing a big-money move to Real Madrid. He’s a true Blue and I’m made up to have him at the club.”
While Branthwaite’s post may not have revealed much about his future plans, it has certainly given Everton fans a boost and reinforced their confidence in the young defender’s commitment to the club.
