According to Fichajes, Liverpool is getting close to making a contentious move for Jarrad Branthwaite from local rivals Everton in a €74 million deal. Since the defender is anticipated to draw some of the biggest suitors, including the Merseysiders, it is unclear if the reported move is true.
A player transfer between Everton and Liverpool is hardly unheard of, but it hasn't happened very often in recent years. But the subject of Jarrad Branthwaite can cause conflict, especially if anyone bought into the rumour that the Reds are close to signing the defender. Liverpool are reportedly close to a €74 million move for Everton’s 23-year-old defender Jarrad Branthwaite, seen as a long-term successor to Virgil van Dijk. While the deal lacks clarity on Everton’s stance, the rumours suggest Anfield could be a future destination for the highly rated centre-back.
