Newcastle United and Tottenham could ponder making a move for Gleison Bremer, who might leave Juventus in the summer.
According to Calciomercatoweb, Gleison Bremer could land offers from Newcastle United and Tottenham in the summer. The 26-year-old Brazilian defender seems settled at Juventus. But problems at the club could see him sold for the right price.
Juventus are not in a good place at the moment despite some respite from ongoing problems. The FIGC ruling to deduct 15 points off their standings got overruled upon appeal. The verdict might just push them to achieve Champions League qualifications. But their problems don’t end there.
Further ramifications might be in store, including even salary reductions for current stars. If Juventus find themselves in the mud over this and feel the need to raise funds through sales, Gleison Bremer could become one of the names departing owing to tremendous interest from Premier League clubs.
Newcastle United and Tottenham are potential suitors for the 26-year-old Brazilian defender. The Premier League duo want to reinforce their backline and consider Bremer a possible arrival in the summer.
Bremer arrived at Juventus from local rivals Torino in a deal of just over €40 million. The report suggests the Bianconeri value the 26-year-old Brazilian defender highly. They could yet accept bids of around €45-50 million, which will see them gain a quick profit on their investment. Ideally, the price should be even higher, considering the defender’s value to the team.
Tottenham are well placed to sign a new centre-back next season, and Bremer, known to play in a back three, would suit their system perfectly. Spurs were reportedly linked with Marc Guehi, but the price for the Crystal Palace star and competition from Champions League-playing clubs could see them lose out on him.
On the other hand, Bremer suits their system and could become tempted by the prospect of moving to London. Tottenham are lining up several other defenders, including Barcelona’s Andreas Christensen. However, if the 26-year-old Brazilian defender becomes available, he will be on top of their shortlist.
While Bremer seems content with life in Turin following a commitment for five years, he would still prefer to join a team in the Champions League. Newcastle United might suit his cause, particularly as the Magpies are close to achieving a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Eddie Howe has steered this Newcastle United side into the top four. They remain the favourites to compete in the Champions League next season. They also need a quality centre-back to compete with Sven Botman and Fabian Schar for next season.
Bremer could also get a better financial package with the Magpies, which could factor in the Champions League bonus. Newcastle continues to look at other options, including Manchester City’s Aymeric Laporte. However, there are difficulties in signing the Spaniard who would like to join Barcelona as his next career step.
The idea of the 26-year-old Brazilian defender remains high on the agenda for Spurs and the Magpies. Both clubs could benefit from signing Bremer, who remains a formidable defender. They also have the financial capabilities to conclude the deal, but much will depend on Juventus and the player himself.
