After Fabrizio Romano revealed how Sir Jim Ratcliffe intends to close the deal and confirmed that Jarrad Branthwaite has given the go-ahead for a move, Manchester United is still in the running to sign the Everton defender this summer.
With Ratcliffe now in charge and in charge of all their transfer transactions, the Red Devils are eager to bolster their roster this summer. The British entrepreneur is committed to bringing back his beloved Manchester United, and he won’t stop at nothing to assist in taking the team back to its previous glory.
Fortunately for United, Ratcliffe already has a strategy in place. High-earning players like Anthony Martial and Raphael Varane have already left the team at the end of their contracts, and if he can also get rid of Casemiro, United will save an incredible £43.68 million annually in salary.
Ratcliffe is reportedly looking to add up to four marquee players this summer. A new center-half, midfielder, and striker are at the top of their want list, while a new right-sided attacker is also desired. TEAMtalk has learned of this.
Additionally, Ratcliffe hasn’t wasted any time in deciding who his goals are. He has focused on signing PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who has given the go-ahead for a transfer to Old Trafford.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is after three Manchester United central defenders.
Still, the most intense search going on right now is for a new central defender.
The story that United had made an initial, perhaps cheeky proposal of £38 million, which may go to £43 million with add-ons, was exclusively revealed by TEAMtalk.
And as Everton valued the player closer to the £65 million to £70 million range, their initial bid being swiftly rejected was not shocking.
Ratcliffe has seen another attempt to sign Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo, a center-half, rejected by UEFA due to their multi-club ownership regulations. Despite the fact that INEOS also owns the Ligue 1 team, Ratcliffe is reportedly thinking about taking legal action in his attempt to sign the player. Despite this, he is still keen to make the deal happen.
