Liverpool are reportedly targeting Everton’s £70 million-rated defender Jarrad Branthwaite in a move that could see the 22-year-old cross Stanley Park. The Reds are prepared to offer £63 million plus £7 million in add-ons to secure the center-back, who is eager to join a higher-profile club.
Branthwaite, under contract with Everton until 2027, is currently earning £60,000 a week but could see his wages triple if he moves to Anfield. Liverpool manager Arne Slot is keen on the young English star, and bookies suggest that a transfer is likely this window. Everton, dealing with an injury crisis, may be willing to sell for the right price, despite rejecting Manchester United’s £50 million bid earlier this summer.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are also set to sign Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili for £30 million, with the intention of sending him out on loan. The summer transfer window closes on August 30, leaving Liverpool with a week to finalize the deal.
