Juventus left powerless to stop £47m Tottenham transfer, Spurs have wanted player since 2022

2 hours ago 34

A centre-back who has been on Tottenham’s radar for a long time has a £47m release clause in his contract, which becomes active this summer.

Reports indicate that Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero face uncertain futures at Tottenham, with both players attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

One would thus expect the Lilywhites to be on the lookout for potential centre-back replacements this summer, and new boss, Roberto De Zerbi, would undoubtedly have an input on the targets.

One Juventus defender has been on Tottenham’s radar since 2022, and the Lilywhites may finally have a chance to get their man this summer.

Juventus may be powerless to stop Tottenham from signing Gleison Bremer

Gleison Bremer was most recently linked with a move to Spurs ahead of the January window, with an outlet claiming that the Brazilian is viewed as an ‘ideal’ option for the Tottenham Hotspur backline.

A new report in TuttoMercatoWeb has now revealed that while Juve boss Luciano Spalletti considers the left-back to be ‘untouchable’, that is not a feeling shared by the Bianconeri hierarchy.

The outlet claims that the centre-back’s current deal includes a €54m (£47m) release clause which becomes active this summer.

While Spalletti dreams of keeping the 29-year-old and pairing him with another top-class centre-back, the Old Lady would be powerless to stop the player from leaving if the clause is activated this summer.

Spurs are not the favourites to land Bremer

The outlet says that there is a ‘possibility of an offer from the Premier League‘ for the centre-back, which is why the release clause was included in the former Torino man’s contract.

The report adds that it is Liverpool who are showing the ‘first and foremost’ interest, but makes no mention of the Lilywhites.

The outlet adds that Bremer could be viewed as a ‘perfect addition at a reasonable price’ this summer for any top team looking to bolster their backline with experience, thus raising the possibility that the race for his signature could intensify.
