Gleison Bremer, a defender for Juventus, is apparently a target for Tottenham Hotspur during the January transfer window.
Because of Cristian Romero’s suspension and Micky van de Ven’s injury, the Lilywhites are lacking in the center of defense.
After completing his £43 million summer transfer from Wolfsburg, Van de Ven has fit right in with Ange Postecoglou’s team.
However, the 22-year-old will now need to miss a significant amount of time due to a hamstring injury he sustained during Monday’s 4-1 Premier League loss to Chelsea.
Just before halftime, the Dutchman was helped off the field by medical personnel because he was unable to bear any weight on his right leg. Spurs are reportedly concerned that he may be out for several months.
Eric Dier and Ashley Phillips, age 18, are Postecoglou’s only remaining options for central defense after Romero was awarded a straight red card in the loss to Chelsea and will now face a three-match ban.
Fichajes claims that Tottenham is interested in Bremer of Juventus and would be prepared to pay more than €40 million (£34.8 million) to recruit the Brazilian in January.
According to the report, the 26-year-old, who has spent the last five years in Italy between stints with Juve and his previous side Torino, might be enticed to transfer to the Premier League.
In the summer of 2022, Bremer transferred from Torino to Juventus. Since then, he has made 54 appearances across all competitions, solidifying his place among the top names on the roster under Massimiliano Allegri.
The center back, who was born in Bahia, has started every one of Juventus’ 11 Serie A games this year, helping the team record eight clean sheets and move up to second place in the standings.
Bremer’s contract with Juventus expires in four years, but given their financial difficulties, Juve may have to sell some of their best players.
