Newcastle United will compete with Manchester United for 27-year-old in-demand Brazilian international Gleison Bremer.
According to a report by Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Gleison Bremer is the subject of interest from Newcastle United. The 27-year-old defender might leave Juventus in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the in-demand centre-back is also a target for Manchester United.
The Rise and Rise of Gleison Bremer
Gleison Bremer has been among the most eye-catching defenders in Europe since arriving from Brazil in July 2018. He will complete half a dozen years in Italy when the season ends, with his stock soaring during his spell with Juventus, the club he joined in 2022. Meanwhile, the Brazilian international has also risen in stature in his national team, turning out four times thus far.
The 27-year-old has turned out 72 times thus far for Juventus, chipping in with seven goals and one assist. Meanwhile, Bremer’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. His next destination might be the Premier League, with Newcastle United and Manchester United interested.
Premier League Move on the Cards?
Manchester United will likely delve into the market for a centre-back in the summer transfer window. Raphael Varane, Jonny Evans, and Harry Maguire are on the wrong side of 30, with Varane and Evans facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford. In addition, Victor Lindelof will unlikely be the first-choice centre-back for Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Lisandro Martinez has struggled with fitness issues throughout the 2023/24 season. So, it behoves Manchester United to sign a top-class centre-back, with Bremer emerging as their top target. But the Red Devils face stiff competition from Newcastle United for the 27-year-old Brazilian international.
Newcastle United’s interest in the Juventus defender stems from Sven Botman’s setback. The Dutch defender is a long-term absentee due to a knee injury, forcing Newcastle United into the market for a centre-back. Bremer’s name has thus appeared on the Tyneside outfit’s wishlist heading into the summer transfer window.
While Bremer is a viable target for Manchester United and Newcastle United, he reportedly wants to join a bigger club, with Liverpool and Real Madrid being his preferred destinations. So, Manchester United and Newcastle United face an uphill task to secure his signature in the summer transfer window.
