Red Devils on the Hunt for Center Backs
Manchester United is reportedly targeting Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite and Juventus' Bremer as they look to strengthen their defense in the upcoming summer transfer window. The club's new small stake owners, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos, are eager to revamp the squad for the next season.
Bremer Emerges as a Potential "Cut-Price" Option
Despite only joining Juventus last season, Bremer has been identified as a possible option for Manchester United due to Financial Fair Play regulations. The Brazilian center back has a £43 million release clause in his contract, making him an attractive but challenging target for the Red Devils.
Branthwaite Priced at £75 Million
On the other hand, 21-year-old Jarrad Branthwaite, who recently received his first England call-up, is valued at £75 million by Everton. However, United is hopeful of negotiating a deal for around £50 million to secure the promising defender.
Ineos Looks to Overhaul United's Squad
With plans to offload several players this summer, including Raphael Varane, Scott McTominay, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Manchester United is keen on restructuring its squad. Ineos aims to address the team's inconsistency by bringing in new talent like Branthwaite and Bremer.
