Currently, Tottenham Hotspur is on the lookout for additions to bolster their defense as they strive to form a robust squad under Ange Postecoglou.
Despite playing their initial pre-season match recently, Spurs continued to face defensive hurdles.
A host of top-class defenders such as Micky van de Ven and Edmond Tapsoba have been associated with a probable transfer to Tottenham.
A recent Italian report has reignited the rumors regarding Tottenham’s interest in Juventus defender Gleison Bremer.
As per Il Bianconero, Tottenham is in the forefront to acquire the 26-year-old center-back.
The report further mentioned, “An attractive offer could lead him to depart,”
Juve’s sporting director, Cristian Giuntoli, is tasked with maintaining the squad’s quality and financial equilibrium.
Consequently, if Tottenham submits an appealing proposal for Bremer, it will be taken into consideration.
Earlier, the same outlet stated that Juventus has assigned a €80m (£69m) valuation for the Brazilian professional.
Our Perspective
It’s expected that Spurs are keen on finalizing a deal for Bremer. The defender is globally recognized for his supreme skills and is presently in his prime form.
He was awarded the Serie A Defender of the Year in 2022, and secured a place in the last season’s League Team.
The scouting entity, Foot The Ball, emphasized last summer that Bremer’s performance aligns with figures of players like Virgil van Dijk and Ruben Dias.
Bremer shines in areas such as ball pressing, recovery, interceptions, aerial conflicts, and also contributes to the team’s attacking front.
Foot The Ball also highlighted the merits of Bremer as an authentic Serie A defender who can excellently tackle, intercept, and clear the ball.
Undeniably, a player of his stature comes with a significant price tag. However, adding him to the squad would instantly enhance Tottenham’s defense.
In case he significantly raises the standards of Spurs’ defense, similar to Van Dijk’s feat at Liverpool, the potential high investment on Bremer would justify itself.
