According to the latest news from Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United has reached an agreement to finalize their first summer signing.

This is despite the fact that Everton is fighting against relegation in the Premier League.

The Everton defender, who is 21 years old, has become the subject of heated transfer rumors as a result of his good performances and the struggling financial situation of the club.

The fact that the club was penalized with six points for violating the Profit and Sustainability Rules of the Premier League has made their financial situation much worse, and it is possible that they will be subjected to additional sanctions before the end of the season takes place.

Branthwaite is lured to Manchester City due to his youth, English nationality, and similarities to former Everton star John Stones, according to sources from the Daily Mail.

Manchester City is interested in signing Branthwaite because of these similarities.

Branthwaite’s potential has attracted the interest of other great teams, such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Tottenham Hotspur, despite the fact that he has only played in the Premier League 37 times. His experience in the top division is minimal.

Recent rumors indicate that Manchester United and Real Madrid have been keeping an eye on Branthwaite, but it is possible that they may be hesitant to make a move due to Everton’s valuation of the player, which is said to be at least seventy million pounds.

It is possible that this worth will change depending on Everton’s future standing in the Premier League during the upcoming season.

As INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe oversee a process of club reorganization, Manchester United’s preparations for the summer transfer window are still being finalized.

Both of these individuals are responsible for overseeing the club.

Michael Olise, who plays for Crystal Palace, has surfaced as a possible target for both the present administration at Old Trafford and the management that will be taking over in the near future.

On the other side, Real Madrid is concentrating on acquiring Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain and Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich.

Both of these players are now employed by Bayern Munich. Following the completion of these significant purchases, the availability of cash would be the determining factor in any decision to add a center-back to their roster.

There is a lot of conjecture regarding Branthwaite’s future, and the possibility of him moving to Manchester City or any other club that is interested may have a huge impact on Everton’s defensive group.

Since negotiations are still going on and there are still questions about Everton’s financial status, Branthwaite’s destination is still unknown until the summer transfer window opens.
