Manchester United are allegedly exploring the possibility of making a January deal for Torino’s Brazilian centre-half Gleison Bremer, according to reports.

A report from Transfermarkt.de, as reported by Transfer Market Web, states that Manchester United intends to make fresh reinforcements to their backline, with Torino FC’s Gleison Bremer surfacing as a potential target for the club during the January transfer window.

Since joining Torino in 2018, Bremer has brought his experience from his native Brazil, where he previously played for Atletico Mineiro, to the club. When the 24-year-old initially arrived in Italy, he quickly established himself as a first-team regular for the Turin-based club, assisting them in maintaining their Serie A position despite the danger of relegation.

A number of teams have shown an interest in his talents

Bremer has made more than 80 appearances for Torino so far, and he has established himself as one of the most promising young defenders in the Italian top division as a result. With just one league game missing for the Italians this season, he has even been given the opportunity to lead the team on one occasion. The 24-year-old, on the other hand, may not be able to remain with them for much longer, since his contract is set to expire in 2023.

A number of teams have shown an interest in his talents as the new year approaches, with Manchester United among those who have had their eyes on him for some time. Raphael Varane joined Manchester United from Real Madrid earlier this summer, giving the Red Devils a stronger centre-back group.

Axel Tuanzebe, on the other hand, has joined Aston Villa on loan for the time being, with the possibility of making the move permanent. Eric Bailly’s present position as the fourth-choice centre-back may lead him to think about his future as well, with Newcastle United reportedly interested in signing the Ivorian international. A replacement centre-back may be required as soon as possible, given that Phil Jones is not expected to play a significant role in the team’s future ambitions.

Torino are believed to be preparing a new contract offer to attract him, which could be a problem for the Red Devils

A move for Inter Milan’s Milan Skriniar had been linked to Manchester United in January, and that was still the case today. Bremer, on the other hand, has suddenly surfaced as a possible destination for the 20-time English champions. Apparently, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team may be interested in signing the tall centre-half as early as the winter transfer window, which opens on January 1.

As the 24-year-old has previously acknowledged, although Torino is believed to be preparing a new contract offer to attract him, he wants to play for a larger club and be engaged in European football tournaments, something that the Serie A club cannot give at the moment. Liverpool, in addition to Manchester United, has shown an interest in signing the player. As a result, it will be fascinating to watch it or not Bremer decides to relocate to England in the near future.
