From the source

Liverpool are reportedly considering a major move for Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite as they continue planning for the long-term future of their defence.

The 24-year-old has enjoyed an impressive start to the season and has forced his way back into the England picture, while Liverpool are increasingly aware that Virgil van Dijk cannot remain the centrepiece of their back line forever.

Branthwaite’s age, Premier League experience and left-sided profile make him an obvious candidate. According to Football Insider, Liverpool admire Branthwaite and could make a move in 2027.
