Manchester United are keen to land Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite this summer and are willing to offer Harry Maguire as part of the deal.
The 21-year-old made his Toffees debut back in 2020 but has really established himself as a first team regular this season and attracted a lot of interest in the process.
The former Carlisle United man has played 38 games in all competitions this season, scoring three goals, and earning his first call-up into the senior England squad.
Branthwaite will have some very attractive options in front of him this summer, with the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester City linked with a move for him.
Manchester United are very keen on the young centre-back and are plotting how to come up with the most attractive deal for both Everton and the player.
The defender could cost more than £70m and the Red Devils are keen to bring that price down if possible, with the Daily Star reporting that they could throw Maguire into the deal.
The England centre-back only has one year left on his contract at Old Trafford, but the club reportedly believe that adding him into a deal could knock at least £20m off Branthwaite’s price tag.

Maguire would obviously have to agree to the move to Goodison Park, which is no guarantee, after turning down a switch to West Ham last summer.
