There is a possibility that Real Madrid, which wants to strengthen its defense, will recruit Everton Jared Branswaite instead of Tottenham Hotspur Christian Romero.
Britain’s “Team Talk” reported on the 12th (Korea Standard Time) that “Tottenham is reportedly not going to respond to Real Madrid’s offer to move to Romero, which has increased the possibility of Everton being attacked instead.”
Real Madrid recently had a gap in its central defense. Militão, the main defender, collapsed during a match against Osasuna in the 13th round of Spain’s La Liga. Examination results showed rupture of an anterior cruciate ligament. The meniscus of the knee was also damaged. He cannot play for the time being.
Even David Alaba, who injured his knee last season, has not fully recovered from his injury. There is currently a lack of reliable central defenders in the squad. There is a high possibility that the team will recruit defenders in the winter transfer market.
According to media, Real Madrid’s main target is Romero, vice captain of Tottenham. He has a strong physical and fast-paced defense. As a South American player, he is good at building up.
Romero is Tottenham’s core resource. Since joining the club in the 2021-22 season, he has played more than 30 games consistently in the last three seasons, leading his team’s defense. The same is true of this season. Naturally, Tottenham is not even considering Romero’s move.
“Real Madrid already lacked a central defender. There is a variable that Militão will not be able to play for a long time due to his injury,” the British Football Insider said. “According to sources, Tottenham is desperately trying to protect Romero.” 먹튀검증
According to Team Talk, Real Madrid is keeping an eye on not only Romero but also Everton defender Branthwaite. After gaining experience through loan at PSV Eindhoven, Branthwaite played for Everton in earnest from last season. He has become a key defender after scoring three goals and one assist in 41 matches. He is only 22 years old, but he has already made his A-match debut by wearing the England national soccer team uniform.
The media said, “Everton could be in danger. Unlike Tottenham, which says they never want to sell Romero, Everton are generous.” Branswaites is a promising defensive player in England. He grew up with Carlisle United and joined Everton.
The key is the transfer fee. “Everton doesn’t want to lose Branthwaite, but he’s likely to sell it if 75 million pounds (W134.6 billion) is offered,” Team Talk added.
