Liverpool were the most active team in the summer transfer window as they signed eight players, investing more than £400million in the transfer market.
However, the Reds still couldn't land Marc Guehi despite their summer long interest in the Crystal Palace captain as manager Oliver Glasner blocked the move for the England international.
With Ibrahima Konate's future undecided as he has rejected three contract renewal offers from Liverpool, the Premier League champions run the risk of losing the Frenchman on a free transfer next summer.
Hence, they were pushing for sign Guehi as they hardly have any cover in centre back positions other than players like Joe Gomez and teenager Giovanni Leoni.
Japanese international Wataru Endo is another preferred option for Arne Slot in defense in a makeshift role.
However as per reports via Tuttomercato, Liverpool could push for a defensive reinforcement in the January transfer window, and they are eyeing Juventus defender Gleison Bremer to strengthen their defense.

Liverpool reportedly feel Bremer is one of the finest defenders in the market and could be a great Guehi alternative for them if they sign him in the winter transfer window.
Why are Liverpool interested in Juve stalwart Bremer?
Bremer suffered a tough last season as he spent the majority on the sidelines after enduring an ACL injury right at the start of the campaign.
However, the Brazilian has returned to full fitness this summer and is ready to lead Juve's backline this season.
He is extremely vital in Igor Tudor's defensive setup and is considered one of the untouchable players for the Serie A giants.
So, luring him away from Turin, that too in January will be a big task for Liverpool if they finalize a move for the Brazilian.
The 28-year-old established him at Atletico Minerio back in Brazil before moving to Serie A outfit Torino in 2018 and after four seasons he switched to play for their rivals Juventus in 2022.
Bremer provides great defensive responsibility and resilience to this Juventus backline with his exceptional awareness and physicality. With him in charge, the Bianconeri look like a completely different team especially when defending.
Therefore, despite Juventus' financial constraints, holding onto their top players would be their primary target if they intend to reach the summit of Italian football once again.
