Everton are reportedly prepared to do everything they can to keep Jordan Pickford away from the clutches of some of Europe's biggest clubs.
England's No.1 was one of the determining factors in retaining the title EvertonThe state of the Premier League over the last few years.
Just last season, Pickford came second to Arsenal's David Raya in the Gold Glove race, and he has produced some vital performances in recent seasons.
This season, Pickford has kept more clean sheets (7) than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League, while keeping a clean sheet in five of Everton's last six matches.
With the Toffees having scored just 14 goals in 16 games so far, reliability between the two posts has been vital in keeping them out of the relegation zone once again.
Jordan Pickford: Everton is pressing for a new deal
according to TBR, ChelseaBarcelona and Bayern Munich are among the clubs that have noticed Pickford's recent form.
As of now, any move for Pickford would be costly, with the goalkeeper's current contract set to run until the summer of 2027.
However, the TBR report suggests that Everton will look to put new terms on the table that would keep them on Merseyside until at least 2030. Given he is already 30 years old, this could be a contract that allows him to continue until retirement.
according to KapologyPickford is Everton's second-highest paid player on £125,000-a-week, behind Abdoulaye Doucoure, who earns £130,000-a-week.
It goes without saying that Pickford's new deal is likely to see him overtake Doucoure as the club's top earner.
However, it is understood that the former Sunderland goalkeeper is open to staying at Everton, where he has become a staunch supporter.
