Jarrad Branthwaite: Everton Defender moves to Real Madrid in Sensational Move
Cardiff, Stourbridge, and now… Carlisle? Real Madrid have had a string of success with British players recently, and it appears they’re eyeing another one. Jarrad Branthwaite, originating from the lesser-known Cumbrian city, is the latest name linked to a remarkable move to the Bernabéu after his impressive performances this season for Everton.
Branthwaite is no newcomer to a move abroad, having made an impact on loan at PSV last season. His former manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy, labeled him a “complete” center-back. Standing tall at 6ft 5in, quick on his feet, and possessing the aggression reminiscent of Martin Keown, Branthwaite has drawn attention from several elite European clubs this season. Notably, Carlo Ancelotti was the manager who initially brought him to Everton from Carlisle four years ago—perhaps that history could sway his decision in favor of Real Madrid. Additionally, the allure of joining the most successful club in European history might play a significant role.
