According to an Italian media La Gazzetta dello Sport, manchester united lead the race to sign Juventus centre-back Gleison Bremer when the transfer The window opens again.
The Brazil international signed a new long-term contract with the Bianconeri in December last year but continues to be linked with a move away from the Turin giants who need funds for new signings.
La Gazzetta dello Sport now they claim that the clubs of the first division They are the ones who are putting the most pressure to sign him with Man United in the lead. Bremer could be available for a total package of £52m.

United are likely to get rid of several centre-backs at the end of the season. Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans are about to enter the final month of their respective contracts and could leave on free transfers.
There is also uncertainty over the future of Victor Lindelof, who only has one year left on his current contract. It has been announced that Bremer is moving to Old Trafford and would be a brilliant signing with the experience he has.
The 27-year-old is one of the best central defenders in the Italian top flight. This season has finished 86% of his passes and has been excellent defensively with 1.6 tackles, 4.1 clearances and 5.4 recoveries per outing.
He has also won almost 60% of his ground and aerial duels. The Brazilian has the right physical qualities for the Premier League and would be a good signing to replace Varane or Lindelof during the summer.
United are currently cash-strapped due to Profitability and Sustainability spending limits and their situation could become more difficult if they fail to qualify for any European competitions this season.
With this in mind, the Red Devils cannot afford to overspend on any signing. Juventus value Bremer at £52m, but we won't be surprised if United open negotiations with the Italian giants with a much lower offer.
With Italian clubs going through their own financial difficulties, Juventus could be persuaded to negotiate the final fee.
