Gleison Bremer issues clear verdict on Chelsea and Tottenham transfer interest

Juventus defender Gleison Bremer has committed his future to the Serie A giants.

Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United have all been linked with the £50million-rated Brazilian in the summer transfer market.

“The Premier League is an important league but I want to stay at Juve, the best club in Italy,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I want to do well here, you never know the future, but right now I’m only thinking about Juve.”

Chelsea are on the verge of signing Monaco’s Axel Disasi to replace the injured centre-back Wesley Fofana, while Trevoh Chalobah could leave the club.

Spurs continue to be linked with Micky van de Ven and Edmond Tapsoba in their pursuit of a new defender.

But Bremer is intent on returning Juventus to Europe’s top table after a scandal-hit season that left them trophyless.

He continued: “When you’re at Juventus you always hope to win.

“We’re in a building phase and the first step will have to be to get to the Champions League, then we’ll see during the upcoming season… maybe we can even think about the Scudetto.”

Report: Spurs are just £2.5m away from agreement for central defender

Tottenham Hotspur could be incredibly close to signing AS Roma defender Roger Ibanez, with a meeting between the two clubs set to take place ‘in the coming days.’

Adding a new centre-back or two to the Tottenham squad appears to be essential this summer after the defensive issues the side suffered last season. Indeed, Ange Postecoglou has already told the club’s board he needs to bolster his defence during the current transfer window (90 Min).

Spurs have been heavily linked with Bundesliga duo Edmond Tapsoba and Micky van de Ven, who are both thought to be the perfect fit for Tottenham (Football.London).

Aside from those two names, Spurs are also thought to hold an interest in Roma’s Roger Ibanez, with a report from Gazzetta dello Sport from 15th June (via Sport Witness) claiming a meeting had been held regarding the Brazilian.

This weekend, reports from Italy have resurfaced, with the suggestion that Spurs are back in the race for Ibanez after seeing their previous offer rejected (Roma Giallorossa).

Tottenham are £2.5m away from Ibanez deal

Now, the latest from Roma Giallorossa claims the Lilywhites could be very close to striking an agreement for Ibanez, if they just offer €3m (£2.58m) more.

Roma chief Tiago Pinto is said to be due in London “in the next few days” for discussions with a number of clubs. Fulham are mentioned as a possible destination for Ibanez, but it is thought “above all” that Tottenham are the club who could secure his signing.

The report suggests that Spurs can acquire Ibanez if they simply add €3m worth of bonuses to their original offer of €22m (£18.9m) which was rejected earlier this month.

This is a no-brainer really. Ibanez is a quality player and we could sign him for just over £20m if this report is true, which should be well within our budget while leaving room to manoeuvre to sign a second centre-half.
