Here's a round-up of the Liverpool-related transfer rumours across the internet this morning.

Who?

Gleison Bremer

Where?

Tuttosport

Why?

Liverpool are reportedly in a three-way battle with Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur for the services on Gleison Bremer.

The 24-year-old defender has made a string of impressive performances for Serie A side Torino this season, making 25 appearances and scoring two goals so far.

A host of European clubs were chasing the centre-back last summer but the Brazilian ended up signing a contract extension until 2024, however he now looks set to leave Ivan Juric's side at the end of the season.

According to Tuttosport, Jurgen Klopp has been tracking Bremer for the past three seasons, but he will also face competition from Italians clubs Juventus and Napoli.

Who?

Gini Wijnaldum

Where?

L’Equipe

Why?

Liverpool supporters were disappointed to see Wijnaldum leave Anfield for Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season, but things have not be going well for the Dutchman since his move to the French capital.

The 31-year-old has fallen out of favour at PSG, amid reports that he is isolated in the Parisians dressing room.

And French outlet L’Equipe has now claimed that Paris are hoping to find the Holland international a new club.

The report, a translated by Sport Witness , states that the “acknowledgement of failure is shared” between both Wijnaldum and the club over the move not going to plan.

L’Equipe claims that PSG are hopeful of moving the midfielder back to the Premier League.

Who?

Kalvin Phillips

Where?

Daily Mail

Why?

Impressive midfielder Phillips has long been on Liverpool's radar as a possible addition to the Anfield engine room, but according to the Daily Mail, The Reds now face competition from cash-rich Newcastle United for the England international's services.

The 26-year-old has suffered a tough season that has been hampered by injury, but with Leeds United currently struggling to stave off the threat of relegation a move away from Elland Road could well be on the cards for the all-action midfielder this summer.

The Mail claims that Newcastle were looking to take Phillips in the January transfer window, but with no deal done, Liverpool and the Magpies will be able to compete for his signature in the summer.
