Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite has been linked with a potential summer transfer to Nottingham Forest. Reports from outlets including The Telegraph and The Athletic suggest Forest is monitoring the 21-year-old center-back.
Everton faces significant financial pressures, having received two separate points deductions for breaches of the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) during the 2023-24 season. This situation could force the club to consider selling key assets.
Branthwaite, who has been a standout performer for Everton, is under contract until June 2027. Any potential move would likely command a substantial transfer fee. Nottingham Forest, which also faced a PSR points deduction last season, would need to navigate the league's financial regulations to fund such a deal.
The summer transfer window opens on June 14, 2026. While interest is reported, no formal offers have been made public as of early April 2026.
