Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will have to pay €30 million (£25.27m) for Torino central defender Gleison Bremer, according to TuttoJuve.

TuttoJuve have reported that Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Arsenal, Juventus and Bayern Munich all are keen on signing the 25-year-old Brazilian central defender in the summer transfer window.

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are leading the race for Bremer, according to a report in Tuttosport last month.

Should Liverpool and Arsenal pay £25m for Gleison Bremer?

In our opinion, Arsenal and Liverpool should not rush into making a bid for Bremer.

Yes, the Brazilian central defender is a good player, and at 25, it is safe to say that his best years are ahead of him.

However, we have to ask whether Liverpool or Arsenal do need the Brazilian.

Liverpool have four top defenders already in Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate.

Arsenal have Gabriel and Ben White as the main centre-back pairing, with William Saliba to return from his loan spell at the end of the season.

Bremer has made 28 appearances in Serie A for Torino so far this season, scoring three goals and providing one assist in the process.
