Overview

• CaughtOffside relays TuttoJuve’s claim that Liverpool are firmly focused on signing the 28-year-old Brazilian defender.
• The reported pursuit is linked to defensive pressure after Giovanni Leoni’s ACL injury and Ibrahima Konate’s contract running down.
• Manchester United are also credited with interest as they assess centre-back options, though no offers are reported.
• Juventus are described as unwilling to sanction a departure, and there are no confirmed negotiations or bids at this stage.
• Liverpool are additionally linked with Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi as part of broader defensive recruitment planning.
