Manchester United is aiming to enhance their defensive lineup with the acquisition of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite.
The 23-year-old has proven to be one of the top young defenders in the league and he has garnered interest from multiple clubs recently. He has been described as “pretty special.”
According to Fichajes, Manchester United is prepared to make an offer of approximately €50 million (£42 million) for the talented young defender.
As they look to strengthen their defensive unit, it remains uncertain whether they can finalize the deal. Branthwaite could serve as a valuable long-term addition for them, potentially solidifying their defense for years to come.
This 23-year-old defender has displayed his skill in the Premier League with Everton and may be eager to embrace a new challenge. Joining one of the world’s biggest clubs would undoubtedly be an exciting opportunity for him, and he is likely to be enticed if Manchester United approaches.
Jarrad Branthwaite could fancy a Man United move
Despite a somewhat mediocre season, and the likelihood of missing Champions League qualification, Manchester United remains a massive club and Branthwaite will be attracted to the idea of joining them. It remains to be seen whether an agreement can be reached between the two clubs in the upcoming months.
It seems improbable that Everton will sell their standout young talent for just €50 million. The defender’s market value is considerably higher, and the future developments regarding this transfer remain to be seen.
Even if a premium price is required, Branthwaite has the potential to justify the investment over time. Manchester United has the financial resources to finalize the transfer, and they appear willing to invest significantly in him. Their defense has shown vulnerabilities this season, and Branthwaite could significantly enhance their performance.
