Everton Hold Firm on Jarrad Branthwaite Valuation

Everton continue to value defender Jarrad Branthwaite at around £80 million despite renewed interest in the England international.

Football Insider reports that Everton have no current intention of lowering their valuation of the 24-year-old centre-back. Branthwaite has started the 2026-27 Premier League season strongly and has not missed a minute of league football so far.

His return to England thrust him back into the spotlight

His return to the England setup has further increased his profile. Branthwaite recently earned his first senior appearance for England since 2024 after coming off the bench during the international break.

Everton reportedly believe that his international involvement could strengthen his market value rather than weaken their position. The club maintained the same £80 million valuation during his injury-hit campaign last season and now expects his value could increase if he remains fit.

Liverpool are mentioned as a potential interested club, although there is no indication of a completed agreement or formal transfer.

Branthwaite's situation illustrates the difficulty Premier League clubs can face when trying to recruit established domestic defenders. Everton are under no immediate pressure to sell and can therefore demand a substantial fee for a player they consider central to their long-term plans.

The defender's age, Premier League experience and England status make him an attractive potential target for clubs looking to strengthen at centre-back.

For Liverpool, any move would depend on their broader defensive planning, particularly with uncertainty surrounding Virgil van Dijk's future.

At this stage, the key development is Everton's valuation: the club continues to place an £80 million price tag on Branthwaite.
