Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite continues to pique the interest of Manchester United's board and more talks have been held in recent weeks about the feasibility of making a January move for the centre back.

Tottenham's Argentina centre-back Cristian Romero, 26, and Everton's England defender Jarrad Branthwaite, 22, have been identified by Real Madrid as potential reinforcements.

Manchester United are set to reignite their interest in £70m-rated Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, with the Merseyside club unable to afford a new contract for the 22-year-old England international.

Everton, Fulham and Leeds are interested in Steaua Bucharest's Cameroon centre-back Joyskim Dawa, 28, who has a release clause in the region of £4m.

Liverpool are ready to rival Manchester United for Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite and could even move for the 22-year-old Englishman in January.
