Spanish giants Real Madrid are reportedly competing for the signature of Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite, the talented 21-year-old central defender also garnering attention from Manchester United and Tottenham.
Branthwaite's performances have caught the attention of scouts from around Europe and have sparked speculation about a potential transfer in the upcoming window.
Real Madrid's interest in Branthwaite comes at a time when they are trying to bolster their defensive line-up.
Under the management of Carlo Ancelotti, who is familiar with Branthwaite from his time at Everton, Real Madrid are rumoured to hold significant admiration for the Carlisle-born defender and may pursue a move to bring him to Spain.
Branthwaite, who returned to the Toffees from a season-long loan with PSV in the summer, still has three-and-a-half years remaining on his contract. He has made a great impact this term, featuring in 21 games, including 17 in the Premier League.
