Manchester United has set its sights on Juventus defender Gleison Bremer as a potential replacement for Raphael Varane in their upcoming summer overhaul. The Red Devils are showing strong interest in securing the services of the Brazilian center-back, with his valuation standing at around €70 million according to his current club.
Juventus has seen a resurgence in Serie A this season, reclaiming their place at the top of the league standings after a disappointing campaign previously. Among the key contributors to their revival is Gleison Bremer, who has emerged as one of the standout performers since joining from Torino.
With the recent ownership change at Manchester United led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, significant changes are expected at the club, including alterations to the playing squad. The futures of several players, particularly central defenders Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans, hang in the balance.
Varane’s contract is set to expire in the summer, as the Red Devils opted against triggering an extension earlier in the season. With no offer for an extension forthcoming, it appears that the club is prepared to part ways with the former French international.
Manchester United is reportedly eyeing Gleison Bremer as Varane’s potential successor, with talks between the player’s representatives and Juventus already underway. The Italian club seems open to facilitating a transfer for the defender to England.
Bremer has been a mainstay in Juventus’ Serie A campaign this season, featuring in 24 league matches and showcasing his reliability at the back. With Tiago Djalo set to bolster Juventus’ defensive options for the future, Bremer’s departure could be on the cards as part of the club’s restructuring efforts.
