Liverpool have made a bargain Serie A centre-back their top summer transfer target, while Barcelona and Real Madrid have joined Manchester United in the chase for a Sevilla defender, all in Sunday’s papers.
KLOPP TURNS TO SERIE A STAR
Liverpool have reportedly made Torino centre-back Bremer their top summer transfer target.
Jurgen Klopp has been plagued by injuries to his defensive spine, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip all sidelined.
The defending champions brought in Ben Davies from Preston and Ozan Kabak on loan from Schalke in the January window.
The latter made made his Reds debut and was involved in a disastrous mix-up with Alisson for Leicester’s second goal in a 3-1 defeat for Liverpool on Saturday.
To that end, neither are considered as ready-made solutions, unlike Brazilian Bremer who has shone in Serie A.
The 23-year-old likes to play on the left side and is viewed as a perfect partner for Van Dijk, when the Dutchman returns after his long-term knee issue.
The report in the Sunday Mirror claims that Torino are aware of the growing interest in one of their top stars and are expecting several offers.
Bremer began his career with Desportivo Brasil before joining Atletico Mineiro following a loan spell at Sao Paulo.
However, his rapid rise began after moving to Turin in 2018, with the player signing a five-year deal on his arrival.
Bremer fits the profile for Liverpool, given his age and the fact they wouldn’t have to break the bank. He is currently valued at less than £10million.
