The first League Manchester United and Liverpool giants both seek to sign a new central defender in the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils should lose Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans in summer, as well as features of a long -term injury suffered by Lisandro Martinez while the Merseyside Club could lose his captain and star player Virgil Van Dijk because of his contractual situation.
Ruben Amorim and Arne Slot will be busy looking at their options to strengthen their defense, but their work could be easier after the desire of a Premier League defender to leave his current club.
According to Sky SportsEverton defender Jarrad Branthwaite is considering his future at Goodison Park and who alerted the giants of the Premier League Man United and Liverpool.
The defender was continued by Man United last summer and they made two offers for him only so that the Toffees reject them.
They are now ready to explore a movement for the English defender, but they will have to beat Liverpool to sign him.
A player moving from Everton to Liverpool would be very controversial, but that could be a possibility.
Branthwaite played well for Everton under David Moyes, but despite his impressive form, he failed to obtain a call to the England team under the new manager Thomas Tuchel.
Man United and Liverpool faces difficult competition to sign Branthwaite
The 32 -year -old Newcastle defender Dan Burn was preferred to Branthwaite and that upset the 22 -year -old defender.
Manchester City, Tottenham and Real Madrid should all be part of the race to sign the defender of Everton.
The young central defender has only two years on his current agreement with Everton, although he contains an option to extend an additional year.
The player and the club were involved in talks on a new agreement, but the fact that he thinks he was neglected by Tuchel for the England team had the defender of his future at the Merseyside Club.
