Liverpool signed French centre-back, Ibrahima Konaté, in the summer and they have a rock-solid defensive setup, but latest reports indicate the Reds are interested in another centre-back.
A few hours ago, Goal.com covered an exclusive story and claimed the Reds were looking to sign the services of Torino star Gleison Bremer,
News – Convinced Klopp pushes Liverpool to sign £67m midfielder – report
The news source mentioned that the Brazilian player, whose current contract expires in 2024, is likely to leave the Turin club this summer and is valued at €25m (£20.8m).
It is said that Liverpool have made contact to inquire about the possibility of signing the 25-year-old, but his capture would depend on player sales.
Nat Phillips is set to go on a permanent transfer and youngsters like Williams and Van den Berg could go on loan.
In fairness, even if the above-mentioned centre-halves leave the club from Anfield this summer, Klopp still wouldn’t need to sign a centre-back.
The six-time European champions already have Virgil van Dijk and Matip, regular starters in the current campaign.
In contrast, in the backup, quality players like Joe Gomez and Konaté are available and they have stepped up whenever needed.
Therefore, I don’t think Liverpool need to pursue the signing of Bremer, who has helped Torino keep 8 clean sheets in Serie A in 28 appearances this season. What do you think?
