Bayer Leverkusen target Juventus defender Bremer with January sale on table

Bremer's future in doubt after Lazio defeat

Juventus were thrown into chaos following their defeat to Lazio at the weekend, and defender Bremer's post-match comments have placed his long-term future at the club under scrutiny. La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the Brazilian is seeking “a leap in quality” and believes that a move away from Juventus could help him achieve that ambition.

According to the report, Bremer is driven by a desire to establish himself as one of the best defenders in his position, a goal he feels would also increase his importance to the Brazilian national team. “He believes he can become one of the best in his position and it will help him become more important for the Brazilian national team too,” the report notes.

Leverkusen move would excite player

The centre-back rejected approaches from Galatasaray during the summer, but it is Bayer Leverkusen who have now emerged as a serious suitor. A switch to the Bundesliga outfit would keep him at a major European club while offering the fresh challenge he craves.

Juventus open to sale at right price

Juventus recognise Bremer's immense influence as a leader within the squad, but the club also acknowledge that he commands a hefty salary. With financial considerations now pressing, the Turin giants could be open to a sale should Leverkusen formalise their interest in the January window.

“If Bayer Leverkusen do make an offer in January, the Old Lady could consider it and think about a sale, if the right money is put forward,” the report states. Bremer continues to hold a high valuation, meaning any deal would require a substantial offer to persuade Juventus to part with their defensive lynchpin.
