Man Utd still interested in signing Jarrad Branthwaite

Published

on

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are still eager to sign Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite.

After a disappointing season last year, the Red Devils took steps to overhaul their defensive line in the summer. They were particularly interested in acquiring the 22-year-old and made two official bids worth up to £50m. However, negotiations with Everton broke down, and a deal ultimately failed to materialize.

After missing out on Jarrad Branthwaite, Manchester United opted to bolster their centre-back options by signing Leny Yoro from LOSC Lille and Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich.

The Daily Mail reports that Manchester United are still interested in signing Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite and have held talks regarding a potential move for him in the upcoming January transfer window.

United’s new sporting director, Dan Ashworth, is reportedly leading the push to bring Jarrad Branthwaite to Old Trafford. Everton are said to be demanding a fee of around £70m for the 22-year-old, whose current contract runs until 2027. However, the Premier League giants may only be able to afford the deal if they raise funds through player sales.

Branthwaite to Man Utd

Branthwaite had an impressive campaign last season, playing a key role in helping Everton avoid relegation. However, the defender has struggled with injury issues this season, limiting his ability to contribute effectively to his club so far.

The Englishman is a left-footed, 6ft 4in tall defender known for his pace, ability to play out from the back, aerial dominance, and strong defensive contributions.

Branthwaite is a highly talented player with the potential to become world-class in the future. As such, he would be a significant coup for Manchester United if they manage to secure his signature.

Ruben Amorim favors a back-three system, and Manchester United are in need of strong depth in this position, especially with the futures of Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, and Victor Lindelof uncertain. All three defenders are in the final year of their respective contracts, making Branthwaite an ideal target to strengthen United’s defensive options.

It will be intriguing to see if the record Premier League champions can ultimately secure Jarrad Branthwaite’s services in the upcoming January window to strengthen their defensive ranks.

Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are in a three-way race to sign Rodrygo Goes.

Published

on

Real Madrid’s Rodrygo Goes has been linked to the Premier League, with Liverpool and Manchester City showing interest. Despite denying the rumors and expressing contentment in Madrid, there are signs that a move could be on the cards this summer.

Rumors suggest Rodrygo could leave Madrid this summer for more prominence and a new challenge. According to Relevo (via 90min), Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are interested, with the Brazilian, who has 13 goals and 10 assists this season, potentially available for around £85 million.

Liverpool best placed to sign Rodrygo

Rodrygo Goes has been one of the world’s top players recently. While he hasn’t received as much attention as Jude Bellingham or Vinicius Junior, the 24-year-old remains highly talented. His English teammate even called him the “most gifted” player in the Real Madrid squad, suggesting he’d thrive in the Premier League.

Liverpool, long interested in Rodrygo since his youth days in Brazil, could be well-positioned to sign him, especially if they generate funds by selling Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, or even Luis Diaz. Their sporting project and recent success in multiple competitions would make them an appealing destination for the Real Madrid star.

Arsenal, focused on securing a centre forward, might be reluctant to spend £85 million on Rodrygo. Meanwhile, Manchester United may struggle with both his wage demands and Real Madrid’s asking price, especially given their current financial and sporting challenges compared to other suitors.

Arsenal submit £51 million bid for Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres.

Published

on

Arsenal have missed out on the Premier League title once again and are staring down the barrel in the Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain ahead of this week’s second leg. As their search for a major title continues, a striker’s purchase has long been set as the primary goal for this summer’s transfer window in addition to making other signings.

According to El Nacional (via 90min), Arsenal have made a £51 million bid for Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres ahead of a potential summer move. With Manchester United also interested since Ruben Amorim’s arrival, the Gunners are keen to act quickly and secure the deal.

Gyokeres has a release clause of around £85 million, and Sporting are reportedly holding out for an offer closer to that figure. As a result, Arsenal may need to raise their bid or turn their attention to other targets like Victor Osimhen or Benjamin Sesko.

Arsenal could sign Gyokeres imminently

Sporting Lisbon’s £85 million asking price for Viktor Gyokeres is within Arsenal’s budget and may be worth meeting, given the Swedish striker’s impressive record this season. With 52 goals and 12 assists across all competitions, he leads Europe’s top marksmen in terms of contributions in the final third.

Despite having a long list of targets, Arsenal’s appointment of Andrea Berta as sporting director brings them closer to securing a deal for Viktor Gyokeres, thanks to his strong relationship with the striker’s agent. With little left to focus on this season unless they reach the Champions League final, a move for Gyokeres to England seems imminent.

Arsenal could land Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus for around £50 million.

Published

on

Dusan Vlahovic is expected to leave Juventus this summer as he enters the final year of his contract in Turin without any sign of an agreement owing to a difference in the wage expectations of both parties. He has been linked with a move to the Premier League with Arsenal among those most heavily chalked up as his next potential destination.

Mikel Arteta is openly seeking a striker this summer, and Dusan Vlahovic—who has 14 goals and 5 assists this season—is seen as a cost-effective target. With just a year left on his Juventus contract, he could be available for around £50 million, according to Caught Offside.

Vlahovic made a strong impact at Juventus after his standout spell with Fiorentina, but he’s now reportedly open to a move abroad to elevate his game. While Chelsea, Manchester United, and Newcastle previously showed interest, their pursuit has cooled in recent weeks.

A decision to make for Arsenal

Arsenal have explored several striker options in recent months, likely holding talks with multiple targets. However, with defenders, midfielders, and wingers also on their shortlist, it’s crucial they avoid overspending on a single position.

When it comes to signing a striker, Arsenal must soon choose between proven performers like Benjamin Sesko or Viktor Gyokeres, or a high-potential talent like Dusan Vlahovic. With interest heating up, it seems only a matter of time before a new frontman arrives at the Emirates.
