PSV Eindhoven is maintaining an optimistic stance in their pursuit of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite.

Everton acquired Branthwaite from Carlisle United in 2020 for a transfer fee of 1.1 million euros. Currently, Branthwaite is valued at 10 million euros according to Transfermarkt.com.

Having had Branthwaite on loan last season, PSV Eindhoven witnessed his significant impact on the team. The young center-back showcased his potential in 27 appearances for PSV, scoring two goals.

Under the guidance of coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, Branthwaite flourished, leaving a lasting impression on PSV. However, at the time, PSV did not have the option to secure his services permanently.

Discussions are currently underway between the two clubs, as reported by the Liverpool Echo, exploring the possibility of a permanent deal for Branthwaite.

While PSV remains hopeful of striking an agreement for the 21-year-old, Everton is hesitant to part ways with the promising defender. The Toffees firmly believe that Branthwaite has the potential to stake a claim for a regular spot in the first team in the upcoming season, which is why they are reluctant to sell him.

As negotiations unfold, the final outcome remains uncertain. The Dutch giants are eager to secure Branthwaite’s long-term services, recognizing his talent and potential contribution to their team. Conversely, Everton sees Branthwaite as a valuable asset and intends to incorporate him into their future plans. The resolution of this ongoing transfer saga will have implications for both clubs involved and shape Branthwaite’s career trajectory moving forward.
