The France international is preparing to leave Anfield on a free transfer after a five-year stay, a development that has caught many observers off guard given that a new long-term contract had previously seemed likely. At 27, Konate is attracting widespread interest, and with 49 starts in the heart of the backline across 2025-26, replacing him is a clear priority for the club’s leadership.
Why Bremer Is on Liverpool’s Radar
According to Calciomercato, sporting director Richard Hughes is a genuine admirer of the Brazil international. Bremer, now 29, has been made available by Juventus for a fee in the region of £34.5 million. That price reflects the Turin club’s failure to secure Champions League qualification after finishing sixth in Serie A, and while Bremer still has three years remaining on his contract, his valuation will naturally decline as time passes.
His numbers across 122 appearances in all competitions for Juve read 12 goals and five assists, extending to 22 goals and eight assists from 196 outings in Serie A. The six-cap Brazil international’s aerial ability and attacking threat from set pieces will not be lost on Hughes and manager Arne Slot.
How Bremer Would Fit at Liverpool
The absence of Premier League experience on Bremer‘s record makes any projection on his adaptation speculative. That said, recent history offers relevant data points. Gabriel Magalhaes at Arsenal and Murillo at Nottingham Forest demonstrate that Brazilian centre-backs can settle into English football with real impact.
Bremer would step into a backline anchored by Virgil van Dijk, and the dynamic alongside young understudies Jeremey Jacquet and Giovanni Leoni positions him as both a senior presence and a potential mentor. Keep up with all the latest on this transfer and more through TipsGG coverage.
