According to Fichajes, Liverpool has set its sights on Gleison Bremer. For two consecutive seasons, Liverpool has refrained from signing a new center-back despite several departures. The emergence of Jarrel Quansah has alleviated the issue to some extent.
Currently, Arne Slot has only three natural options for this position in the first team. Veteran defender Joel Matip has left the club on a free transfer.
Throughout the transfer window, The Kop has been linked with various defenders, but none of these moves came to fruition.v
Nevertheless, Liverpool recognizes the need to reinforce this area sooner rather than later. Virgil van Dijk’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and with the player now 33 years old, Liverpool must start planning for the future without the Dutchman.
Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Liverpool has identified Juventus star Gleison Bremer as a potential addition. Liverpool’s interest in the Brazilian center-back has grown, and Juventus is willing to let him go for a fee of around £58.9 million in the summer of 2024.
However, the transfer did not materialize, and the player remains in Turin. According to reports, Liverpool appears determined and is preparing to return in future transfer windows.
They view the 27-year-old as the ideal candidate to replicate the defensive solidity previously provided by Virgil van Dijk. In fact, Bremer is considered an excellent defender and is regarded as one of the best in Serie A, alongside Alessandro Bastoni.
