Tottenham are monitoring Juventus’ Gleison Bremer ahead of a potential move as they look to strengthen defence, but face competition from other Premier League sides
- Bremer could cost up to £50million as interest in his services increases
- Tottenham conceded 63 goals last term and are keen to improve their defence
- Bremer made 30 league appearances for Juventus last season in Serie A
Tottenham have added Juventus’ Gleison Bremer, 26, to their list of centre-back targets as they look to strengthen their defence.
The Brazilian has interest from other Premier League sides also, but Spurs are one of the clubs at the front of the queue.
The club are ready to make some moves in the transfer market in a bid to give new manager Ange Postecoglou the best chance of getting off to a positive start in his new role.
Spurs conceded 63 goals in the league last season, the sixth most, and it’s likely Postecoglou will see the defence as something to work on as soon as he can.
The club face reported competition from Manchester United and Chelsea, however, and the side that signs Bremer could have to pay up to £50million for his services.

Bremer is a versatile right-sided centre-back, who made 30 league appearances for Juventus last season after signing from their local rivals Torino, where he spent four years.
His only season with the Turin giants was marred by controversy off the pitch as Juventus were on course to finish in the top four of Serie A before they were handed a fresh 10-point deduction for false accounting.
United’s main target is Napoli’s Kim-min Jae, though it’s looking ever more likely that he’ll be signing for Bayern Munich this summer.

Steinsson only arrived in June 2022 but he is now on the brink of leaving.
Fabio Paratici’s departure earlier this year amid an ongoing investigation regarding alleged financial irregularities in Italy are understood to have played a role.
