Overview
- Reports on Sunday said Liverpool are leading the chase for the 25-year-old midfielder, with Real Madrid monitoring and a fee near €70m cited by Spanish outlet Fichajes and echoed in UK coverage.
- Garner made his England debut on Friday and stayed in Thomas Tuchel’s trimmed squad for Japan, with the coach calling him “our mini Valverde.”
- The Everton starter has three goals and six assists in 34 matches this season and can play holding midfield, box to box, or on the right.
- Everton confirmed a long-term deal in January that runs to 2030, and no club has agreed a transfer or announced formal talks.
- A move to Liverpool would cross the Merseyside divide, which is rare and likely to test supporter sentiment on both sides.
