After spells loaned to Blackburn Rovers and the PSV Eindhoven, Branthwaite has now become one of the main defenders of Everton, and this led speculations binding it with a move to Manchester United more recently. However, Everton acted quickly to secure his future, and Branthwaite is “on the moon” to extend his stay with the Premier League team.
Branthwaite told the club’s official website: “I’m on the moon. It’s something we’ve been talking about since the end of the season, and having it sign now is something that really fascinates me.
“The confidence that the club has put in me and the number of games that I have played in the past two seasons have made a fairly easy decision for me to stay and continue to progress as a player.
“I know the club. I feel like players – we have a good group here – and fans. In recent years, I have seen the impact that fans have on us as a team and how much it means for them. And, of course, with the new stadium we want, the new property and the new manager, it’s an exciting project, and that’s something I want to be part of.
“Topping together at the new stadium and having this first home game is something we are all looking forward to. We want to go and push for a good season.”
Everton wishing to sign the World Cup winner on free transfer
Now that the future of Branthwaite has been resolved, the Toffees turn their attention to who could play alongside him. According to the Daily Mail, relayed by Liverpool World, Everton wishes to sign the back left Nicolas Tagliafico on a free transfer.
The Argentinian international, which won the World Cup in 2022, left the French part Lyon at the start of this month when his contract expired. Given his situation, David Moyes is interested in adding it to his team, because he would provide competition for Vitaly Mykolenko, which is Everton’s only left back.
Tagliafico, who has been nicknamed “quality” in the past, has never played in the Premier League before, but has a huge European experience after playing for Lyon and Ajax in recent seasons.
The report says that West Ham and Seville are also interested in signing the rear left, but the Toffees can have an advantage in this race, because Tagliafico has the same agency as the current goalkeeper of Everton Jordan Pickford, which means that there is a previous relationship between the agency and the club.
