Euro Paper Talk: Liverpool plotting explosive triple raid on Serie A with first deal agreed
Liverpool are readying three incredible signings from Serie A with the first deal ‘done’, Antonio Conte is looking to bring a Juventus star to Tottenham, while Wednesday’s Euro Paper Talk claims Chelsea’s Saul has a new club lined up in January.
BREMER DEAL DONE FOR LIVERPOOL; DUO ALSO EYED
Liverpool will reportedly secure the signing of Torino defender Gleison Bremer for a bargain £6.8m (€8m) fee in January.
The defender is regarded as one of the top defenders in Serie A but has just 18 months remaining on his deal.
And according to Torino Granata, the Reds are ready to swoop to further bolster their defensive options.
The Reds aren’t alone in the pursuit for Bremer, with Manchester United and Napoli also keen.
Indeed, the report claims Napoli plan to offer one of Andrea Petagna or Adam Ounas in part-exchange for the Brazilian.
However, they state his ‘probable destination’ is now Anfield with a deal reportedly close.
Liverpool could secure his signing and allow him to remain on loan at Torino for the remainder of the season.
And it seems Michael Edwards and his team of scouts are considering two more high-profile raids on Serie A too.
Liverpool considering January approach for Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma
Liverpool are reportedly considering a January swoop for Villarreal's Arnaut Danjuma, with concerns over Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane's AFCON absence in the new year, with more news on Federico Valverde and Marco Asensio.
As per Calciomercato, the Reds are ‘watching extensively’ both Federicho Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic. Neither attacker would come cheap, but the report claims they are considering moves for the pair to revamp their attack.
Vlahovic will be sold by Fiorentina in 2022 for a fee of around €60m.
Chiesa, meanwhile, has a huge admirer in Jurgen Klopp. They state he may be sacrificed by Juventus were a sizeable bid come in.
