Report: Liverpool Told to Pay £61m for Bremer

Juventus reportedly want £61 million for defender Gleison Bremer, complicating Liverpool's defensive plans under manager Arne Slot.

According to Calcio Mercato, Liverpool's pursuit of Bremer faces financial hurdles as Juventus set a £61m price tag. The Brazil international has been linked to Liverpool due to their defensive instability this season, with injuries and form issues leaving Slot's back line exposed in key matches.

Bremer, who turns 30 next year, presents a dilemma for Liverpool's recruitment strategy which has typically favored younger players. The club's sporting director Richard Hughes will need to balance immediate defensive needs with long-term planning and financial discipline.
