Liverpool is eyeing Jarrad Branthwaite, Everton's center-back, to become the successor of Virgil Van Dijk for the upcoming season. Liverpool's transfer market will focus on strengthening its defense.

As revealed by Football Insider on September 25, 2026, Liverpool's technical secretariat has placed the English international at the top of their priorities to take over from Virgil van Dijk, whose contract expires at the end of the current season.

Everton's Demands and Jarrad Branthwaite's Contract in Merseyside

The 24-year-old defender renewed his contract with Everton last summer, extending his stay at Hill Dickinson Stadium until June 2030. Under David Moyes' coaching, the left-footed center-back has secured a place in the starting lineup, leading their city rivals to set a high valuation to deter offers.

Institutional relations between both clubs have not seen a direct player transfer since 2002. Despite the local rivalry, Liverpool's sports management is gathering reports on the player's physical performance and behavior in training.

Liverpool's Search for a Left-Footed Center-Back

The imminent expiration of Virgil van Dijk's contract in 2027 compels Anfield's management to recruit a left-footed player with experience in the Premier League. Former chief scout Mick Brown confirmed to Football Insider that the Everton player meets the required metrics for the position.

The 24-year-old player is also on the radar of other clubs in Europe, but the geographical proximity eases the observation work by Liverpool's analysts. Liverpool scouts will watch the center-back's matches in the British championship during October and November 2026.

If Everton's board is willing to negotiate with their arch-rivals, Liverpool will prepare a substantial offer to sign the English center-back to enhance their defensive rotation.
