Liverpool prepare £25m bid for Torino star Gleison Bremer

According to TuttoMercato (h/t Express) , Liverpool are lining up a £25m bid for Torino centre-back Gleison Bremer as a possible replacement for Joe Gomez.

The Englishman who has not been able to get regular game time for the Reds could be set to leave Anfield next summer. Gomez has fallen behind Ibrahima Konate and Joel Matip in the pecking order and if he leaves, Gleison Bremer could be the possible replacement.

The Brazilian has become a key player for the Italians and is one of the most consistent defenders in Serie A since the past few seasons. He has played 29 games this season for Torino and has been one of their best performers.

Liverpool has been linked with a move for the defender for a long time now. Although they have four quality centre-backs in their ranks, the 25-year-old is a huge talent, one for the present and the future.

The Italian club are likely to accept a fee in the range of £25m for their prized asset and Liverpool are said to be willing to pay the money to bring the centre-back to Anfield.

Fit in perfectly?

Joe Gomez has a lot of interest from English clubs and could be looking to move out from Merseyside to resurrect his career and get regular playing time.

In Virgil Van Dijk, Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate the Reds have three quality centre-backs but the former two are not getting any younger and will have to be replaced at some point.

In Konate, the Reds have one position in defence sorted for the future and will need another player to partner him in the future. Bremer could just be the answer.

The Brazilian has time and again proved in an impressive Torino defense that he is capable of playing at the highest level and has a sky-high ceiling. Coming to Anfield and training under Jurgen Klopp might just be what the 25-year-old needs to develop into a complete player.
