In the search for a successor to Matthijs de Ligt (22), who had switched to FC Bayern, Juventus found what they were looking for at neighboring FC Turin. The Brazilian Bremer, who was voted Serie A defender of the year last season, has signed a contract until 2027. Thanks to the high earnings for new Munich de Ligt (67 million euros), the “old lady” was able to beat Inter Milan , who was considered the favorite to make a signing, intercept on the home straight and get the de Ligt replacement even cheaper compared to the Dutchman’s selling price. Juventus had already confirmed Bremer’s arrival for the medical check on Wednesday. Now the signature could be reported.

“Sky Italia“ had recently reported a fee of 41 million euros plus 9 million bonuses. That should be 20 million euros more than Inter’s offer. The Milanese sat together with President Urbano Cairo and sports director Davide Vagnati from the Granata until late in the evening on Monday. Inter is also said to have been willing to include Italy U19 international Cesare Casadei (19) in the deal with a buyback option. At first there was only talk of a lending business. Torino obviously opted for the higher financial offer.

Bremer is said to have agreed on a change with Inter for a long time. However, the player and his agent were willing to listen to other offers – and in addition to the fee that makes the defender Torino’s record sale, Juventus was also able to offer a higher salary, according to the TV channel. Specifically: 6 million euros net.
Alternatives identified by Juventus are said to have been Villarreal’s Pau Torres (25) and Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhães (24). Previously, there should also have been efforts to find ex-Napoli professional Kalidou Koulibaly (31), who switched to Chelsea FC and had already ruled out a transfer to a direct Serie A competitor of the SSC months ago. At Inter, in addition to Bremer, Nikola Milenković (24) from AC Fiorentina was repeatedly named for defense, where in turn Milan Skriniar (27), the most valuable defender, could switch to PSG.
