Torino fans furious after Bremer sale to Juventus

Torino fans are reportedly livid after the Granata agreed to sell star defender Gleison Bremer to intercity rivals Juventus.

The 25-year-old Brazilian centre back was one of the best defenders in Italy last season and it soon became clear that he’d be departing Ivan Juric’s side this summer. Inter had long been interested and the move looked all but certain, but their hesitation allowed Juventus to outbid them and agree a deal after selling Matthijs de Ligt to Bayern Munich.

As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, Torino fans have not taken the sale of Bremer to Juventus particularly well, being evident based on the state of president Urbano Cairo’s Instagram posts. The Brazilian defender, likely planning ahead, changed his account settings yesterday to disable new comments.

The 25-year-old is expected to carry out his medicals with Juventus tomorrow ahead of the €50m total move. 

Considering that Torino fans still haven’t forgiven Aldo Serena and Federico Balzaretti for their intercity transfers, it’s unlikely Bremer will ever receive a warm reception again on the Granata side of the city.
