Man Utd willing to pay £52m to sign Gleison Bremer
According to Corriere dello Sport (via SportWitness), manchester united are willing to pay the release clause to sign Juventus defender Gleison Bremer this summer.
The Brazil international has been linked with United on numerous occasions in recent months and Corriere dello Sport They affirm that the center is not opposed to the idea of moving to the first division. The 27-year-old believes he would improve his chances of being selected for the national team.
The same outlet claims that Man United are willing to pay the £52m release clause in his contract and should have no problem paying the fee. The Red Devils are in pole position to sign the centre-back and it is claimed that he would fit into their strategy of signing players under the age of 30.
Higher class
Bremer has established himself as a key player for the Bianconeri and recently signed a new long-term contract. However, a termination clause was agreed upon as part of the deal. United could now take advantage of the figure to sign the former Torino player, who could be Raphael Varane's successor.
The former Torino star is a good centre-back with good ball play, but he also has other strengths. He is strong in aerial and ground duels and does not shy away from making tackles. He also has the ability to perform periodic recoveries and likes to clear his lines when necessary.
His experience could prove useful to the Red Devils, who appear prepared for Varane's departure. The world champion's contract expires on June 30 and the club has not exercised the option to retain him for another season. There are no talks scheduled on a new deal.
In addition to Bremer, United have also been linked with the services of Everton ace Jarrad Branthwaite and it remains to be seen if they sign two centre-backs. Bremer is a right-footed centre-back and the hierarchy could also be interested in landing a left-footed option this summer.
