Liverpool's pursuit of Juventus defender Gleison Bremer faces a potential stumbling block as the Italian club reportedly demands £61 million for the 28-year-old Brazilian. The price tag complicates Liverpool's plans to strengthen their defensive line under Arne Slot, who has witnessed structural uncertainty and injuries plague his backline this season.
Bremer, who has established himself as one of Serie A's most consistent defenders, would address immediate needs but may not align with Liverpool's recruitment strategy that prioritizes younger players. With the Reds already invested in younger defensive options like Jeremy Jacquet, sporting director Richard Hughes faces the challenge of balancing short-term defensive reinforcement with long-term financial planning.
