JARRAD BRANTHWAITE ON THE MOVE? LIVERPOOL AND MAN CITY MONITOR DEFENDER AS HE PONDERS EVERTON FUTURE AFTER ENGLAND SNUB UNDER THOMAS TUCHEL
Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite is reportedly considering his future at Goodison Park after being left out of Thomas Tuchel’s provisional England squad for Euro 2024. The 21-year-old centre-back, who enjoyed a breakout Premier League season, is now attracting serious interest from Liverpool and Manchester City, with both clubs monitoring his situation closely.
Why Branthwaite Could Leave Everton
England Snub Frustration
Despite a stellar campaign (3 goals, 1.9 tackles/game, 86% pass accuracy), Branthwaite was omitted from Tuchel’s squad, raising questions over his international prospects while at Everton.
Sources suggest he believes a move to a top-six club would boost his England chances.
Financial Pressure on Everton
The Toffees may need to sell to comply with Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Branthwaite, valued at £50-60m, is their most saleable asset.
Elite Club Interest
Liverpool: See him as a long-term partner for Virgil van Dijk, with Joël Matip departing.
Man City: View him as a potential successor to John Stones or Nathan Aké.
Branthwaite’s Stance
Open to a Move: The defender is reportedly not pushing for an exit but would consider joining a Champions League club.
Preferred Destination: Sources suggest he favors Liverpool due to their style and the chance to work under Arne Slot.
Everton’s Tough Decision
Reluctant to Sell: Sean Dyche wants to build his defence around Branthwaite.
Financial Reality: If a £60m+ offer arrives, Everton may have to cash in.
What’s Next?
Post-Euro 2024 Talks: Branthwaite’s camp will meet with Everton to discuss his future.
Bidding War: Liverpool and City could formalize interest in July, with United and Tottenham also lurking.
