The Madrid-based entity has been searching for center-backs for some time to make a generational change in the squad. The main target is Leny Yoro, but other footballers have also been followed.
One player who was highly regarded was Jarrad Branthwaite, the 21-year-old Everton player. He is a footballer with impressive potential, which has attracted interest from several clubs for his transfer.
According to information from Football-Talk, Manchester United would be willing to pay a transfer fee of 65 million euros, but Everton is applying pressure, asking for 100 million.
Real Madrid is not considering entering this bidding war for Jarrad but rather wants to insist on signing Leny Yoro, the club’s main target. Leny Yoro’s contractual situation, which ends in 2025, Real Madrid’s negotiating strength, and the player’s level leave no doubts for the club.
Clear ideas
Therefore, they will say goodbye to Branthwaite, who will remain an Everton player until June 30, 2027, if his club does not end up selling him. Although there are very good reports about him, they consider Yoro to be a superior player.
The French center-back is rejecting offers from other clubs, awaiting Real Madrid’s move. Lille will have no choice but to lower their financial demands and negotiate with the Madrid club. Otherwise, they would lose the player as a free agent in 2025.
