According I sport, manchester united have named Juventus defender Gleison Bremer as their number one target this summer.
The Red Devils are on the hunt for a new centre-back and have been constantly linked with Bremer in recent months. Speculation still exists and I sport They claim that Man United have identified the Brazilian as their priority target for the summer.
The source adds that Bremer has a release clause worth £43m in his contract with the Bianconeri. United appear determined to secure his signature, but will have to meet their wage demands and avoid interest from players such as Chelsea and real Madrid.
Quality signing
Bremer committed to a new long-term contract in December last year, but could still leave Juventus this summer with the release clause low in his contract. United hope to take the opportunity to bring him to Old Trafford.
The former Torino player has a strong physical and aerial presence, but he is also good with the ball at his feet. The Brazilian also likes to clear his lines and has good pace to recover when the opponent is on the attack.
These attributes should suit him well in the first division. United could see him as a potential successor to Raphael Varane, who could leave for free transfer when his contract expires at the end of June this year.
United have chosen not to activate a release clause in Varane's deal due to his £340,000 a week salary. Bremer could be replaced in his place. He is currently in £172,000 weekly and could be persuaded to sign a reasonable salary increase.
The Red Devils could look to sign another centre-back in the summer, but that could depend on player sales. The club have been linked with a move for Everton's Jarrad Branthwaitewhich is currently valued at £75 million.
