Juventus defender Gleison Bremer, a reported target for Manchester United, is also catching the eye of Liverpool, with Arne Slot naming him as his top priority this summer.
Following the conclusion of the Copa America, Liverpool is planning a significant effort to acquire Bremer, according to TEAMtalk.
Although there have been rumors linking Liverpool to various targets, they have yet to make any new signings and are expected to strengthen their squad soon.
With Joel Matip departing after his contract ended this summer, Liverpool requires a new defensive addition.
Last season, Liverpool faced defensive struggles, with Jurgen Klopp relying on the inexperienced Jarrel Quansah alongside Virgil Van Dijk.
As the season ended, Liverpool lagged behind in the Premier League title race and missed out on winning the Europa League.
Bremer, 27, has been a top defender in Serie A for a significant period, having been named to the league’s team of the season for the past three seasons and the league’s top defender for the 2021–2022 season.
His consistent high-level performance has attracted interest from Manchester United in the past, according to Calciomercato, and now from Liverpool.
Liverpool may have the edge in signing Bremer as Manchester United is currently more focused on securing Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.
Liverpool needs a strong centre-back presence, and Bremer could be the reliable partner Van Dijk needs in defense.
The experienced Brazilian international has the potential to thrive at Anfield and become a fan favorite, much like Van Dijk has.
To contend for trophies next season, Liverpool requires a solid defensive lineup, which was largely absent for much of last season.
