Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing a move for one of Juventus’ best players in the January window, and the Premier League side could have one factor working in their favour.
It has been widely reported that Spurs will prioritise strengthening their attack in January rather than their midfield or defence.
A few sources have claimed that signing a top-class wide-forward is Tottenham’s number one priority in the January transfer window.
However, a new update from Italy has claimed that the Lilywhites could raid Juventus for one of the best defenders in Serie A.
Tottenham want to sign Juventus’ vice-captain
According to Football Italia, the North London club are plotting a January move for Juve defender Gleison Bremer.
Bremer has consolidated his reputation as one of the best central defenders in Italy since his switch from Torino to the Bianconeri in 2022.
It is suggested that Thomas Frank wants more cover at centre-back and has thus set his sights on the Brazilian, who is expected to take Ben Davies’ place in the Spurs first-team squad, with the Welshman purely a fringe player these days.
The report points out that Bremer is represented by CAA Base, who also represent five players in the Tottenham squad and their assistant coach Matt Wells.
The Premier League side’s relationship with the agency could pave the way for a January deal for the Juve star.
How much would Spurs have to pay for Gleison Bremer?
Football Italia say that even though Bremer is an important player for the Old Lady and the club’s current vice-captain, the Serie A giants would be open to offers for him.
This is because Juve are keen to land Portuguese star Goncalo Ramos in January, and they need to fund the move by selling the former Torino man.
The publication claims that Tottenham would need to pay over €50m (£44m) to land the 28-year-old defender, who still has four years left on his contract at the Allianz Stadium.
