Years ago, Manchester United were able to splash out enormous sums of money for the purchase of sweepers. Harry Maguire was until recently the record holder of the Premier League as the most expensive central defender, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, and Eric Bailly arrived at Old Trafford for huge compensations. But never in the same transfer window has United splashed out as pompously for two stoppers as they plan to do this summer. As things stand, United has prepared around a hundred million euros in order for Erik Ten Hag to renovate the defensive line.As for Matthijs De Ligt, he gave the green light to the Red Devils and now the English giant’s negotiations with Bayern Munich are coming up. According to information from reliable German media, the Bavarians are ready to let him go for around 50,000,000 euros, while United’s plan is to try for 40,000,000 fixed and certain bonuses.##NAJAVA_MECA_8204431##But the club from Old Trafford does not want to stop there since, according to the information of the Daily Mail, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, they offered Everton 53,000,000 + 6,000,000 euros for the talented Jarrad Branthwaite (22). However, the Toffees insist on a sum between 77,000,000 and 82,000,000 euros for the 195-centimeter-tall defender whose market value, according to the specialized Transfermarkt, is estimated at 42,000,000 euros.Therefore, Man United are ready to add one established and one rather promising defender to the existing core of center defenders, which currently consists of Maguire, Martinez, that is, Victor Lindelof and Johnny Evans, whose fate is uncertain.Manchester United have submitted another bid for Jarrad Branthwaite according to multiple reports.United aren’t giving up on getting their man just yet 💪 pic.twitter.com/788jpacbbP— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) July 8, 2024 However, it is currently not certain that United will be able to complete both transfers. Everton’s counter-offer still seems megalomaniac and unrealistic, while according to the German Sky Sport, as many as 60,000 Bayern fans signed a petition asking the club’s management to keep De Ligt at Allianz Arena.For now, the only thing that is certain is that United have the money. It is also clear how they want to spread it as evenly as possible. But the question is whether plan A will work.Dutch striker of Nigerian origins to cure Man Utd’s attacking flaws
