Manchester United preparing a second bid for Jarrad Branthwaite. This is the news that the English media have announced, as Everton has rejected a previous offer from the "Red Devils", in the amount of 45 million pounds. Now that it has been confirmed that Erik ten Hag will be in charge of Manchester United, the club leaders are planning the changes for the next season.
Branthwaite is one of United's top targets for next season, given the Englishman's many defensive problems last season. Considering the departure of Raphael Varane, the need for a centre-back who offers security is even greater at Old Trafford. Branthwaite failed to secure a place in the England squad at Euro 2024, and that means the player can fully focus on his future, and plans for next season.
Everton want around 70 million pounds for the English talent, a high figure, but the club leaders see it as reasonable. Especially considering the fact that the player has attracted the attention of Real Madrid. Madrid are also interested in reinforcements in defense, after the news of Nacho's departure to Saudi Arabia. At the moment, Real Madrid's main target at the back is Leny Yoro.
The Frenchman is active with Lille and is considered one of the most promising talents in Europe. United are also monitoring Yoro, but the latter is believed to be more inclined to accept an offer from Real Madrid. However, Madrid have not yet entered into advanced talks with the player and everything is expected to be decided at the end of Euro 2024.
