Everton’s promising centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, aged 22, impresses with 65 appearances and aims for a £150,000-a-week deal amid rival interests.
Jarrad Branthwaite has emerged as a pivotal player for Everton since breaking into the first team last season. His dynamic displays have ignited passion among supporters.
At 22, he made his England debut against Bosnia and Herzegovina last June. He now boasts 65 appearances for the club, reflecting his rapid rise.
Everton is determined to secure his future with the club. Contract talks will soon kick off for a long-term deal that enhances his current terms.
His market value now stands between £60 and £70 million. A new deal could see him become Everton’s highest-paid player with a £150,000 weekly wage.
This season, he has started 20 out of 23 appearances. He played 1,986 minutes, recorded 1 assist, and received 3 yellow cards without scoring.
He signed his latest extension in October 2023 after top clubs showed serious interest. This early commitment underscores Everton’s faith in his potential.
Rivals such as Real Madrid have expressed keen interest in his talent. Yet, he remains committed as his contract runs until June 2027.
Everton is also scouting fresh attacking options. The club is unlikely to sign Jack Harrison permanently while they battle for Marseille winger Luis Henrique.
