Liverpool target £57m deal for Brazil international in January, Chelsea were also "huge admirers"

Liverpool are reportedly interested in Gleison Bremer from Juventus and could spend £57million on the Brazilian defender.

Bremer only recently moved to Juventus, despite many links to the Premier League, after leaving Torino in the summer.

The 25-year-old centre-back has a contract until 2027 with the Turin side but that may not stop big teams like the Reds show interest.

An Italian outlet describes Bremer's style as 'teasing' to Jurgen Klopp and could strengthen Liverpool's back-line in the January transfer window.

If the Reds were to secure a deal for the Brazilian, Bremer would become their fourth-most expensive signing after Darwin Nunez, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker.

It would also take Klopp's spending on defenders over £200million.

Klopp needs to add depth to defence

In recent seasons, Liverpool's defence has looked incredibly solid at the back. However, in eight league games this season they have gone behind in a game.

Bremer would also bring Klopp's defence some stability and depth as they have struggled with injuries in the past. Both Van Dijk and Joel Matip are 31 years of age and Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate have been unfortunate with injury set-backs.

It was also announced yesterday that Bremer would be headed to the World Cup with Brazil this month which could mean if he performs well, Juventus may be reluctant to sell.

Bremer is a Van Dijk admirer

Speaking to DAZN earlier this year, via the Liverpool echo, Bremer has had nothing but positive words to say about Van Dijk.

“I’ve always liked Lucio, but considering the contemporary defenders, I think Virgil van Dijk is really strong.

"He suffered a serious injury, but he has everything: physical strength, quality, sense of position," he added.
