Everton resisted three offers from Manchester United a year ago for Branthwaite, insisting he wouldn't be allowed to leave for less than £70m.
Toffees manager David Moyes is hopeful of keeping Branthwaite for their first season at the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium.
United remain keen, though Chelsea have the edge after qualifying for next season's Champions League.
