Juventus will reportedly move for Tottenham target Gleison Bremer following the blockbuster sale of Matthijs de Ligt, with the centre-back on the verge of signing for Bayern Munich.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Brazilian centre-back is Juventus’ ideal player to replace De Ligt, who this week will sign for Bayern in a deal worth a reported €80m (£63m), though the Serie A giants face competition from Bremer from Tottenham and, more importantly, Inter Milan.
As per the report, Inter are currently in talks to sign the defender, with Juventus banking on negotiations this week to fall through as the Nerazzurri have struggled to reach a breakthrough with the Torino star, something the Old Lady are confident in.
Bremer enjoyed a fantastic campaign in Serie A last year with the 25-year-old named the league’s Defender of the Season, drawing interest from numerous sides across Europe, with Tottenham leading the charge for Premier League clubs to bring the talented centre-back to England.
Indeed, Inter looked the favourites to land Bremer for the majority of the summer, however, this update regarding Juventus could put the Turin-based side in the driving seat to beat the Italian rivals and Tottenham to the Torino star, who could be a sensational addition for most clubs.
Whilst losing De Ligt is a huge blow for Juventus replacing the Netherlands star with Bremer is a smart move from the Italian giants, moreover, signing the Brazilian would weaken a rival side in Torino and infuriate another in Inter as well as Tottenham should the sides miss in the UEFA Champions League.
Juventus signing Tottenham target Bremer would be an outstanding transfer
Juventus have already made waves this summer in signing Paul Pogba on a free, and whilst De Ligt will be a big loss, replacing the Dutchman with Bremer is a great move from the Italian giants, especially when you consider how many sides were interested in landing the Torino star.
After two years of the Scudetto being in Milan, Juventus will be looking to break this league drought with an emphatic Serie A campaign, and signing Bremer will greatly help the Old Lady in their quest to bring the title back to Turin.
