Torino central defender Gleison Bremer remains a source of potential interest from Liverpool FC in light of the growing number of casualties on the injury front for the English top-flight giants.
Joel Matip’s adductor strain sidelines the Cameroon international for the next couple of weeks, Jurgen Klopp confirmed in the aftermath of his side’s goalless draw against Newcastle United, which leaves the Reds gaffer with no senior centre-back options in his first-team ranks at Anfield.
Nat Phillips was drafted in Matip’s role for the St. James’ Park showdown on Wednesday evening and in spite of the 23-year-old’s solid showing at the back, there is no doubt that the Merseyside outfit are in requirement of a fresh face to the defensive core of the club.
According to reports from Goal, Klopp’s side have retained their interest in making a move for Bremer since this past summer and have been joined by arch-rivals Everton in the race to land the Brazilian centre-back’s signature.
Torino’s horrid run form this season in the Serie A is understood to be a major reason behind the Italian club’s willingness to part ways with their star defender should Liverpool FC amp up their approach for Bremer in the winter transfer window that opens on January 1.
