Chelsea must fork out £60 million if they want to sign Juventus centre-back Gleison Bremer this summer.
Blues Told to Pay £60m for Juventus Defender Bremer
The Blues continue to search for defensive reinforcements.
Reports from Italy claim the Premier League giants face competition from Liverpool for the Brazilian’s signature.
Bremer has established himself as a key figure in Turin since joining the Old Lady from Torino in 2022.
The 27-year-old has made 110 appearances for Juventus across all competitions, matching the total he managed for his former club.
His consistent performances have caught the attention of scouts across Europe.
According to Calciomercato, both Chelsea and Liverpool are monitoring the defender closely ahead of the summer transfer window.
Juventus remain reluctant to part with the player due to his importance to manager Thiago Motta’s side.
However, the Serie A outfit may consider cashing in if they receive an offer in the region of £60 million.
Chelsea’s interest stems from ongoing concerns about their current defensive options.
Injuries have plagued the backline this season, while some players have struggled for form under head coach Liam Rosenior.
Liverpool also face a potential defensive crisis. Ibrahima Konate’s contract expires this summer, and the Reds are already planning for life without the Frenchman.
Bremer offers experience and physicality at the heart of defence. He has adapted quickly to life at Juventus and understands the demands of competing at the highest level.
The Blues return to Premier League action on Saturday against Burnley. They cruised past Hull City 4-0 in the FA Cup last week, with Pedro Neto scoring a hat-trick.
Rosenior has guided Chelsea to four wins in five league matches since his appointment in January. He will hope to continue that run against the struggling Clarets.
But off the pitch, the club’s recruitment team are already planning for the summer. Bremer remains a prime target as they look to strengthen their defensive ranks for next season.
