Man Utd 'ready to attack' defender transfer as Liverpool 'prepare' winger scouting report

Another busty weekend of Premier League action is upon us, and the title race remains an exciting one. Liverpool lead the way, four points ahead of Manchester City and five ahead of Arsenal, but both of those teams have a game in hand.

Those games in hand will be made up over the course of this weekend, with the Reds in Carabao Cup final action against Chelsea on Sunday. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest transfer rumours surrounding the Premier League clubs.

Bremer links

Manchester United are being linked with a move for Juventus defender Gleison Bremer. According to Tuttosport, the Red Devils are 'ready to attack' to land the defender as they seek a replacement for Raphael Varane, who is expected to leave this summer.

Bremer only joined Juve in the summer, and it's likely the Italian giants would play hardball over any sale this summer. Bremer has impressed greatly since making rhe move from Torino.

Paquetá considered by City

Across the city, Man City are again being linked with a move for West Ham United star Lucas Paquetá. Paquetá has been heavily linked with a move to City in the past, but he was priced at as much as £80million by the Hammers last summer.

According to the Daily Mail, City see Paquetá as a good fit for their system should Bernardo Silva end his long stay with the Premier League champions. Talk of a Silva departure has ramped up over the last 12 months or so.

Liverpool track youngsrer

Liverpool are being linked with a move for Palmeiras winger Luis Guilherme ahead of this summer. Football Insider claim the Reds are putting together a scouting dossier on the 18-year-old ahead of a potential summer deal.

The report claims Liverpool were considering a move for the speedy youngster during the winter window ahead of deciding not to pursue a deal. A summer move could be much more likely, and it's claimed the Reds are now doing their homework ahead of potentially signing the Brazil under-20s international.
