HE’S STAYING! Branthwaite Rejects £70M Move to Stay Loyal to Everton – Fans Erupt in Joy!
In a stunning show of loyalty that has sent shockwaves across the Premier League, Jarrad Branthwaite has reportedly rejected a massive £70 million move away from Everton, choosing instead to remain at Goodison Park and continue building his legacy with the Toffees.
Amid intense transfer speculation linking him to some of England’s elite—most notably Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur—Branthwaite has shut down all rumours by making it clear: his heart remains in Merseyside.
The 21-year-old defender has had a meteoric rise this past season, becoming a rock at the back under Sean Dyche and earning widespread acclaim for his composure, strength, and maturity beyond his years. After being shortlisted for multiple Player of the Season awards and even catching the attention of England manager Gareth Southgate, few would’ve blamed him for taking the next step in his career.
But for Branthwaite, loyalty means more than a pay rise or Champions League football.
“This club gave me my chance. I owe it to the fans, the staff, and my teammates to continue the fight. Everton is home,” Branthwaite reportedly told club insiders.
That one statement has lit up Everton fan forums, social media channels, and pub corners across Liverpool. From Reddit threads to Twitter posts, supporters are unified in their joy and admiration for the young centre-back’s decision.
“LEGEND in the making. You just don’t get players like this anymore,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).
“Captain material. That lad bleeds blue,” another added.
Branthwaite’s decision is being hailed as a massive win not only for Everton’s ambitions but for the culture Dyche is trying to build—a squad that’s willing to fight, commit, and rise together.
With his future now seemingly settled, focus will shift to how Everton can build around him. A few more signings, combined with a strong pre-season, and the Toffees might just be poised for a surprise surge up the table.
For now, though, fans can breathe easy: Branthwaite stays. The fortress holds.
