Liverpool could be on the lookout for fresh legs at centre-back this summer, with details regarding a long-time target now emerging from Italy.It was reported back in February that Juventus’ Gleison Bremer could be a top target for the Reds in the 2026 summer transfer window if Ibrahima Konate does leave.Since then, Konate has yet to agree on new terms, and an update from Gazzetta has now claimed the defender has a release clause which will be active from early August.

You can give one rarely-used Red a chance against Brentford. Who gets your vote? 👀 Photo by Harry Langer/DeFodi Images/DeFodi via Getty Images Bremer moved to Juventus in 2022 and has since notched 122 appearances for the Turin-based outfit, scoring 12 and assisting five.He has played 31 times in 2025/26 after a couple of injury problems, but is now back in the eleven as Juve make a late push to secure a Champions League place.They are sixth in the Serie A going into the final day, but are just two points off third-place Napoli.Missing out on the Champions League may well make a move from Bremer easier, but as was mentioned previously, Liverpool might only make a move if Konate leaves.The Frenchman’s deal is set to expire on June 30, and with the season coming to a close this Sunday, he is yet to sign a new contract.On that front, an update this week has said that Konate’s Liverpool contract saga is entering ‘crucial’ stages, with his future expected to be decided soon.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
