According to Gazzetta dello Sport (via SportWitness), manchester united They could receive a boost by signing Juventus defender Gleison Bremer this summer.
The Red Devils are looking for a new central defender and Bremer has been constantly linked over the past few months. La Gazzetta dello Sport They now claim Man United could sign the Brazilian for a lower fee this summer if they agree to include Mason Greenwood in a player plus cash deal.
The 22-year-old is on the list of possible attacking targets for the Bianconeri. It is claimed that the Turin giants are willing to play the Bremer card to secure his services. The move could suit the Red Devils as they are actively looking to offload Greenwood.
Possible agreement
United's objective is to renew its central defensive department for next season. They were linked with several big names last year but failed to sign a standout centre-back. The same is unlikely to happen this time around as Raphael Varane is likely to leave and his contract expires on June 30.
Bremer would be an ideal replacement for the World Cup-winning star. The Brazilian has a strong physical and aerial presence, but he also has good control with the ball at his feet. He likes to clear his lines and has a good recovery pace. At 27 years old, he is in the prime of his career and would be a quality signing for United.
Juventus reportedly worth his prized asset at around £52m, but the big question is whether United can afford that fee. With a season out of Champions LeagueUnited may be more cautious with its transfer spending despite new management at the helm. They may first seek to recover funds from player sales.
The other plan could be to include disadvantaged players in transfer negotiations. Juventus seems to have opened the door to Bremer due to his interest in Greenwood. A trade deal involving the duo seems like a realistic possibility over the summer.
