Sir Jim Ratcliffe may face disappointment in the transfer market as Manchester City are reportedly poised to beat his club, Manchester United to their top summer target. Manchester United key target, Jarrad Branthwaite from Everton is highly sought-after especially given his status as one of English football’s rising stars. While United is eager to bolster their defense with Branthwaite, Manchester City interest in the young defender poses a significant challenge.
Branthwaite’s potential £70 million price tag might be a hurdle for United, particularly if his value increases after potential Euro 2024 involvement with England. Despite Manchester United plans to sell players to fund their squad revamp, City’s interest in Branthwaite presents a setback. Branthwaite’s recent call-up to England senior squad underscores his growing reputation, potentially positioning him as a long-term replacement for players like Harry Maguire.
Manchester City boasting a strong defensive lineup including John Stones, Ruben Dias and others may still enter the market this summer. Branthwaite expressing his excitement about representing England awaits his opportunity to join the national team.
