“EVERYONE IN BRAZIL IS LOSING THEIR MINDS! Everton Set to Hijack £26M Superstar After He ‘Secretly Meets ALL Demands’ – Deal Could Explode in the Next 48 Hours (You Won’t Believe What He Just Told His Agents!)”

David Moyes has had to navigate the entire season so far without Jarrad Branthwaite, while Michael Keane has now also become a concern after being absent from Tuesday’s draw with Bournemouth.

These mounting problems in defence are threatening Everton’s ambitions for the campaign, and the growing list of injuries may force the club into authorising a substantial transfer outlay once the January window opens.

Everton have been informed that Natan will cost around £26million, and recent updates indicate that the price tag is not a stumbling block.

In fact, the Toffees are believed to be stepping up their pursuit of the Brazilian centre-back as they look to reinforce their back line urgently.

Following the £107m cash injection from majority shareholders Roundhouse Capital Holdings Limited, Everton appear well positioned financially to make significant moves.

Natan is said to tick all the boxes for the club’s defensive needs and is increasingly emerging as their priority target heading into January.

The Real Betis defender has featured 14 times in La Liga this season, operates naturally on the left side of central defence, and played a crucial role in guiding Betis to last season’s Europa Conference League final.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Everton are applying more pressure in negotiations and are now fully prepared to challenge other clubs, including Leeds United, for the 24-year-old’s signature.

Moyes wants a defender who can instantly strengthen the team but also develop as part of the wider project.

Natan appears to fulfil both criteria, and with the player reportedly open to a Premier League move, Everton could table an early bid once the market reopens.

However, the situation surrounding Jarrad Branthwaite complicates the picture.

Branthwaite has been recovering from a hamstring injury, with hopes he will return in January. Yet the timing raises questions.

Other clubs have shown interest in him before, and his potential return date seems almost too perfectly aligned with the opening of the transfer window.

This leaves two possibilities: either Branthwaite’s injury is more serious than disclosed, or Everton are acknowledging that a sale could be imminent.

If he is genuinely expected back next month, it is difficult to justify spending over £20million on another defender—suggesting something deeper may be unfolding behind the scenes.
