Chelsea join Manchester United in race to sign Juventus star Gleison Bremer
Chelsea has joined manchester united in the race to sign talented Juventus centre-back Gleison Bremer, according to a report from Manchester Evening News.
In recent days, United have been linked with a number of central defenders considering the desperate need to strengthen that position ahead of next season. Bremer has been considered a priority target, along with the likes of Evertonby Jarrad Branthwaite and Barcelona's Jules Koundé.
However, it appears that Man Utd face a battle to sign Bremer as MEN They report that Chelsea has joined the race to sign the Brazilian defender for the summer transfer window.
The report says that Bremer has a £43m (€50m) release clause in his contract, so the first division The giants could sign him for a reasonable price if the South American is willing to move to England.
Rarely do we see a player have a negotiated release clause in his contract that is much lower than his actual market value, which is over £50m according to Transfer market. This suggests that signing him for around £43m would represent an excellent deal if Man Utd or Chelsea could pull it off.
Solid defensive reinforcement
Whether Bremer goes to Man Utd or Chelsea or any other club, he would be a solid defensive reinforcement. After making a name for himself at Torino, the 26-year-old has taken his game to the next level at Juventus. While he may not be exceptional playing out from the back like other names on United's roster, he is still very adequate at it.
The Red Devils have struggled with the fitness of their centre-backs throughout this season. Lisandro Martínez, Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire They have missed important parts of the season. Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof have struggled more with form than fitness. It should be remembered that Varane's future at the club is also uncertain.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have many centre-backs in their squad. Thiago Silva has always been present, along with Axel Disasi and Levi Colwill. Benoit Badiashile has been quite impressive after recovering from his injury. Wesley Fofana has yet to recover from a long-term injury and has barely played football in almost two years. Trevoh Chalobah has just started performing after a long-term injury.
One thing the Blues need to remember is that unless they get rid of a few names on this list, it doesn't make sense for them to sign another centre-back. Considering the number of names at the Bridge, even Bremer might prefer a move to Man Utd. Regardless, the Juventus defender's future promises to be an interesting transfer saga in the summer and let's wait and see how it plays out.
