Liverpool has signed new defenders in Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez this summer, but they still explore a decision for a new defender.
Due to the uncertain future of Ibrahima Konate and the imminent departure of Jarell Quansah, a new central defender is necessary for Anfield this summer and Arne Slot is eager to solve this problem.
Having shown the ambition and intention on the transfer market after winning the title of the Premier League, the Reds again prepare a solid team for next season in order to defend their League title.
One of the players with whom they were linked this year was the defender of Everton Jarrad Branthwaite, a central defender who plays for their Premier League rivals.
Not only do Reds seek to add depth to their defensive ranks, but they plan a long -term successor to Virgil Van Dijk.
Liverpool has no chance of signing Jarrad Branthwaite
If there was a chance that Branthwaite moves to Anfield earlier, he should now disappear completely.
Everton is in advanced negotiations to link Branthwaite to a new long -term contract, with an improved salary and extended conditions on the table, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The impressive Branthwaite displays have not gone unnoticed, the biggest English clubs registering in the English defender.
Mark sudden of Kinkedoffside reported his interest in Chelsea and Manchester United in Everton’s star yesterday.
The Toffees consider Branthwaite as a cornerstone of their defensive plans in the future, and secure it on a longer contract would protect their property not only, but also sent a strong message on their ambition in the midst of financial challenges.

The player’s evaluation of the player by Everton, supposed to be in the region of 60 to 70 million pounds sterling, in parallel with their desire to keep it, made difficult negotiations for any interested club.
From the point of view of Branthwaite, the New Deal would offer him the opportunity to continue his progression in a familiar environment under a manager who trusts him, while ensuring that any future transfer occurs according to the conditions of Everton.
While Liverpool has now passed to other targets such as Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace for the position of the rear center, Branthwaite was once admired by the Reds.
The defender was congratulated for his quality and called “Rolls Royce” by an initiate.
