Manchester United are actively seeking a move for Juventus centre-back Gleison Bremer in the upcoming summer transfer window, as stated by Corriere dello Sport.
With the contracts of defenders Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans set to expire at the end of June, the Red Devils are expected to focus on signing a new centre-back during the summer.
Man United are now pursuing the Juventus centre-back as per recent reports. Despite the 26-year-old signing a new long-term contract in December, the Bianconeri are reportedly willing to entertain a ‘huge offer’ for him.
The Serie A giants aim to strengthen their financial position, especially with a season away from European competitions, and United are focused on securing Bremer during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Man United are poised to part ways with Varane in the upcoming summer, as there are no intentions to activate the extension clause in his current €397,000-a-week contract.
The club, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS, wants to reduce the huge wage bill, making Varane’s departure likely unless he agrees to a huge pay cut
Hence, the PL giants are considering an investment in a high-profile central defender due to ongoing injury issues in that position.
Bremer displays strong numbers for Juventus this season
The Brazilian star emerges as a promising option, offering valuable attributes such as an impressive 87% pass success rate, 5.1 duels won, and 5.3 recoveries per league match.
Defensively sound, the solid defender averages four clearances and 1.6 tackles. Known for his physical strength, Bremer aligns with manager Erik ten Hag’s requirements.
Juventus might be open to selling for over €60 million, a sum United may negotiate for, potentially seeking a reduced upfront fee.
