Tottenham offers £30m to help Man Utd sign £80m star in staggering transfer twist

According to speculations, Everton’s standout player Jarrad Branthwaite is getting closer to joining Manchester United as the Toffees have selected his unexpected replacement.

Throughout his 41 appearances this season, Branthwaite has proven he can compete with elite strikers, and he has flourished under Sean Dyche. The Englishman can play out of the back with ease and is not only powerful and excellent in the air, but he is also terrific with the ball at his feet.

Due to these qualities and the fact that the left-footed center back is still only 21 years old, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has made him a top target for Manchester United.

Ratcliffe thinks that bringing Branthwaite in would help to initiate the process of rebuilding a strong British core at Old Trafford.

Man Utd is reportedly planning to bid £50-55 million for the young player, according to recent reports. To let him go, Everton wants to hold out for as much as £80 million, so some haggling will need to be done before a deal is agreed upon.

Ratcliffe will have to negotiate agreements with his Everton teammates shortly. However, in the background, optimism is building that Man Utd can sign Branthwaite in a major summer deal.

Remarkably, rumors are circulating that Everton intends to entice former Tottenham Hotspur defender Davinson Sanchez back to the NFL.
Man Utd trades: Tottenham failure could aid in handling

In a move for slightly over £8 million, the center-half left Tottenham to join Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray last summer. Everton scouts have been thrilled by Sanchez’s dominating performances for Galatasaray, which has sparked rumors of a shocking trade.

Everton is not the only team interested in Sanchez; Fulham, West Ham United, and Napoli are also contenders.

Everton may be able to get Sanchez for a move of between £15 and £20 million after selling Branthwaite for a hefty sum.

It would surprise Spurs supporters if Sanchez went back to England so soon after departing. The 27-year-old was signed by Spurs from 2017 until 2023, but he never lived up to the £42 million price tag that was set at the time for him, a club record.

In addition to making a few poor decisions, Sanchez lacked the positional awareness that is necessary to develop into a top defensive player. Fans of Everton will be hopeful that he has made significant progress during his time in Turkey as a result.

If Ratcliffe is successful in his pursuit of Branthwaite, Manchester United may have a completely different center-back duo for the upcoming campaign.

Ratcliffe is still pursuing Nice goalkeeper Jean-Clair Todibo. Additionally, there have been rumors of the Frenchman going back to Barcelona, but he appears to have dispelled them.

Man Utd would be able to move on from players like Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, and Victor Lindelof with the additions of Branthwaite and Todibo.
