Man Utd expected to open talks to sign Brazilian star

Manchester United are expected to open talks to sign Juventus defender Gleison Bremer in the coming months, according to Tuttosport.

The centre-back has been in excellent form for the Turin giants this term and he recently committed his future to the club with a new deal.

However, this may not stop him from leaving in the summer and it is claimed that United are keen on signing the Brazilian before pre-season.

Erik ten Hag has requested for a powerful defender with good ball playing ability and United have earmarked Bremer as the perfect fit for the role.

United are expected to open talks with the Bianconeri in the coming months with a view to securing an agreement before the summer friendlies.

Juventus signed the former Torino man for around €50m and they are expected to demand at least €70m to sanction his sale this summer.

United could part ways with Raphael Varane with Bremer's arrival. They have decided against extending the Frenchman's deal beyond June.
