Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite could be set for a summer move to Real Madrid.

The Toffees do not want to lose the talented defender, who only broke into the first team this season.

However, Branthwaite is already on the radar of the Spanish giants, according to The Mail.

The source adds that a big enough bid may be too tempting for Everton to reject due to their financial problems.
