Manchester United is determined to strengthen its defense with the addition of Jarrad Branthwaite and is willing to spend more than 50 million pounds to secure his signing in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Everton center-back, who has shown significant growth in recent years, is also a target for Tottenham, but the Red Devils are looking to get ahead in the race to add the young Englishman to their squad.
At 22 years old, Branthwaite has proven his worth in the Premier League after returning to Everton following a successful loan spell at PSV Eindhoven. His progression has been steady since leaving Blackburn Rovers in 2021, establishing himself as a key piece in the Toffees' defense. In total, the center-back has appeared in 78 matches for the Merseyside club, scoring four goals and providing one assist.
Manchester United Wants to Sign Jarrad Brathwaite
The English defender is not only a priority for United but has also attracted interest from other Premier League clubs. In the case of Tottenham, the London club is closely monitoring the situation, although their strategy will depend on the resolution of other movements within their squad.
For Manchester United, Branthwaite's arrival would be a key reinforcement amid uncertainties about the future of some of their current defenders, such as Victor Lindelöf and Jonny Evans, while Harry Maguire approaches 30 years old. With Everton demanding a fee exceeding 50 million pounds, potential suitors will need to not only present a compelling offer but also ensure the center-back the opportunity to compete in the UEFA Champions League, a crucial condition in the player's decision.
