Carlo Ancelotti reportedly pushed Real Madrid executives to sign Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite after seeing the defender impress at Goodison Park, according to HITC.
The news source reported on March 12 that Madrid has been attentively observing the defender’s development this season since he established himself as a regular under Sean Dyche.
Furthermore, it’s been reported that Branthwaite’s Premier League manager, Carlo Ancelotti, requested that Madrid officials keep an eye on him during the 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford.
On the official Everton website, the coach remarked, “I am really happy with him, he is really young, a kid,” after a 2020 matchup against Aston Villa. But he had quality, charisma, and character.
When he has the ball in his possession, he exudes tremendous confidence; when not, he acts aggressively. He might be a great asset to our team.
Is Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite a potential Real Madrid acquisition?
The 21-year-old’s performances had previously attracted attention from all over Europe, and the main driving force behind the transfer seems to have been his relationship with Ancelotti. Consequently, the player has previously been connected to the European heavyweights.
According to reports, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new owner of Manchester United, will stop at nothing to get Erik ten Hag to Old Trafford, the defender’s #1 priority despite ongoing doubts about his future.
According to HITC, it would require a significant payment—up to £70 million—to persuade Branthwaite to leave Goodison Park in a transfer that may improve the club’s current financial situation.
However, after a standout Premier League season and turning into one of the most sought-after defenders in the country, if not all of Europe, his valuation might exceed £100 million, according to BBC journalist Luke Edwards [9 January].
