Jarrad Branthwaite is one of the brightest defensive talents at Everton and continues to attract serious interest from Premier League big boys. The English centre-back has impressed this season with consistent performances, catching the eye of Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool. Despite the growing attention, Everton are standing firm for now, labelling the player as “not for sale.” Still, that stance could shift once the winter window opens.
Chelsea are also in the mix, looking to upgrade their backline after underwhelming spells from Benoît Badiashile and Axel Disasi. At Tottenham, Branthwaite is seen as a solid option to add depth alongside Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
Liverpool are interested too, but Everton are expected to block any move from their city rivals. Beyond the Merseyside rivalry, the club simply don’t want to lose a top prospect to a direct competitor. Financially, Everton are in a strong position, which gives the Toffees leverage at the negotiation table.
Branthwaite is under contract until 2030, and Everton would prefer to continue developing him at Goodison Park. But with top-level centre-backs in short supply, holding onto a player of his calibre won’t be easy. If big offers arrive in January, the club may be forced to reconsider their position.
