Gleison Bremer is on the verge of signing for Juventus after they agreed a €50m total deal with Torino.
The 25-year-old Brazilian centre back was one of the best defenders in Serie A last season and a move to a top club this summer looked obvious, although many expected him to join the long-interested Inter. The Nerazzurri focused on other targets instead and failed to finalise a deal for Bremer, allowing Juventus to enter the fray after they agreed to sell Matthijs de Ligt to Bayern Munich.
As detailed by TMW, Bremer is expected to return to Turin later this evening ahead of the usual pre-transfer medicals with Juventus tomorrow. Assuming everything goes well, he’ll put pen to paper on a five-year contract with the Bianconeri. Juventus will pay Torino €41m plus €9m in add-ons for the player.
The 25-year-old Brazilian seems to be the perfect replacement for De Ligt and Juventus have managed the situation incredibly well, in stark contrast to Inter, who also lost out on Paulo Dybala this week.
