Man Utd push hard to sign Juventus star Gleison Bremer

According to an Italian media Calciomercato, manchester united are pushing hard to secure the signature of Juventus defender Gleison Bremer this summer.

The Red Devils are expected to strengthen the central defensive department in the coming transfer window with the uncertainty surrounding the future of Raphael Varane whose contract expires in June. Manchester United have decided not to exercise the option to retain him for another year due to his high wages and there are no talks planned for a renewal.

Bremer has been tipped as a possible successor to the 2018 World Cup winner and Calciomercato They claim that they are pushing hard to get his services from Juventus. The Bianconeri are prepared to give the green light to a summer transfer if United are willing to make a bid of between £51m and £60m for the talented Brazilian star.

Quality signing

Varane has been a solid presence in the Red Devils' central defense department, but the Frenchman has been injury prone. He was substituted with a knock in the recent draw at Brentford and United need a more reliable figure to lead their defense going forward. Bremer could be the solution with his vast experience and good defensive skills.

The former Torino star has a strong physical presence but is also a good centre-back on the ball. The 27-year-old also likes to clear his lines and has the ability to win possession with his recoveries. He seems well suited to the demands of the first division and United could spend money to sign him with Varane seemingly on the verge of leaving the club.

It remains to be seen whether United will look for another centre-back in addition to Bremer. Jonny Evans is likely to leave when his contract expires in June, while Victor Lindelof will enter the final year of his contract this summer. Harry Maguire He is in the same situation as Lindelof, but United have the option of extending his stay for another 12 months.
