Sources claim that Manchester United is preparing to complete Jarrad Branthwaite’s deal before this Thursday’s transfer deadline passes in an attempt to strengthen their defence this month.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Everton player is allegedly a desired man on the market, and the Toffees are attempting to negotiate a new contract with him.
Real Madrid and Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing the 21-year-old Everton defender, according to a reliable Italian publication.
The signing is something Manchester United is “trying to close” before the winter transfer window ends.
The news agency based in Rome claims that the deal’s entire worth, including cash and add-ons, is 40 million euros.
For Branthwaite, who has shown to be a dependable defender in the Premier League for Everton and is highly valued by the Merseyside club, the aforementioned sum is way too little.
