According to reports from Calciomercato, Manchester United are targeting 26-year-old Brazil international Gleison Bremer, who currently plays for Juventus. However, the Red Devils face a major financial challenge as Juventus have set a price of €70 million to offload the talented defender.
Gleison Bremer has emerged as one of Serie A’s best defenders in recent years, establishing himself during his time at Turin before moving to Juventus in 2022. With 66 appearances and seven goals and one assist so far, Bremer has developed into a mainstay of the Bianconeri’s defense in Serie A.
Ten Hag wants a central defender
Manchester United’s interest in Bremer makes sense, especially given the potential departure of Raphael Varane in the next transfer window. Furthermore, uncertainty over the futures of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof reinforces the need for a right-footed centre-back at Old Trafford.
Despite the urgency in defense, the Red Devils face financial challenges and the Premier League’s sustainability rules. These restrictions could postpone any movement until the summer, when a measure of this magnitude might be possible. The question arises as to whether Manchester United will be willing to spend the €70 million demanded by Juventus for Gleison Bremer’s services. The answer to this mystery will be revealed in the coming months and will be a fascinating storyline in the England team’s transfer market.
