Bayern enters the poker game for England jewel Branthwaite | OneFootball

FC Bayern wants to further equip its squad for the future. New focus: Jarrad Branthwaite, the talented 21-year-old defender from Everton FC. However, the Munich club can expect some prominent competition.

Everton, currently on the brink of relegation from the Premier League, may be on the verge of losing one of its greatest talents. Branthwaite, who has played for the Toffees since 2020 and gained experience at Blackburn Rovers and PSV Eindhoven, has established himself as a regular this season and put in some impressive performances. These have even convinced England national team coach Gareth Southgate to call him up for the last international break.

According to the British portal TEAMtalk, FC Bayern and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in the centre-back alongside Manchester United. However, with a market value of over 30 million euros and a transfer fee that could exceed the 100 million mark, Branthwaite would not be a bargain. The Englishman is regarded as one of the most talented defenders on the island and is also expected to be a regular in England’s national team in the future.

Will Branthwaite replace Upamecano?

At FC Bayern, Branthwaite could replace the controversial Dayot Upamecano, who has recently been the subject of transfer rumours. His links to players such as Harry Kane and Eric Dier, who know him from the national team, could be a decisive factor.

Tottenham and United, on the other hand, may be banking on the advantage Branthwaite would have by staying in England. With just two points clear of the relegation places, Everton’s future is uncertain and relegation could also have a significant impact on transfer demands.

Branthwaite has played 35 games for Everton FC this season, scoring two goals. His strengths include his strong tackling and good positioning. At 1.95 metres tall, he is also a force to be reckoned with in the air.
