Chelsea may be interested in signing Juventus centre-back Gleison Bremer this summer.
That is according to Calciomercato.
The Italian publication claims that Chelsea and Manchester United are “particularly interested” in a swoop for Gleison Bremer.
It is understood that Italian giants Juventus will need to think carefully about selling the highly-rated defender if they receive an offer in excess of €60million (£51million).
Bremer, who only joined Juventus last summer from Torino, enjoyed an impressive debut season in black and white stripes.
The ‘incredible’ Brazil international is an all-action centre-half that has built up a great reputation in Serie A during recent seasons.
Is he now set for a spell in the English Premier League, though?
Gianluca Di Marzio reported last June that Chelsea launched a bid to try sign Bremer from Torino.
Eventually, the South American centre-half ended up joining Juventus in last summer’s window..
Despite his obvious talent, Bremer shouldn’t be high up on Chelsea’s list of summer transfer targets.
The Blues already own a number of quality centre-halves ahead of the new season, but they’re lacking in other areas of the pitch.
We would like to see Chelsea prioritise the signings of a new centre-forward, defensive midfielder and goalkeeper this summer.
Perhaps Bremer is someone Chelsea should revisit once fellow Brazilian countryman Thiago Silva hangs up his boots.
