Juventus defender Gleison Bremer’s future at the club is currently in doubt as contract renewal talks have stalled, according to reports in Italy. Despite being a key player for the Bianconeri, Bremer has not received an offer to extend his current deal, which runs until 2029, signed last August with a reported salary of €5 million per season.
Bremer recently expressed his desire for Juventus to return to winning ways, stating, “I’ve been here for 6 years and the club hasn’t won anything, and that can’t happen. I feel good here, but it’s important to start winning again. That’s what makes you a champion. I’m 29, I don’t have much time left and I want to win.” This sentiment came before a costly error in a recent match against Verona, where a misplaced pass led to a goal, prompting Bremer to publicly apologize to teammates and fans.
Juventus have been proactive in renewing contracts with several key players, including Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie, and coach Massimiliano Allegri, with ongoing discussions with Dusan Vlahovic, Teun Koopmeiners, and Kalulu. However, no such offer has been presented to Bremer, leading to speculation about his long-term future in Turin.
The club’s hesitation stems from a combination of technical, financial, and strategic considerations. Juventus are reportedly seeking a centre-back with stronger passing abilities, despite Bremer’s impressive 89.5% pass completion rate this season. Additionally, at 29 years old, the club may see this summer as their last opportunity to generate a significant transfer fee for the Brazilian.
A release clause of €58 million exists in Bremer’s contract, and Juventus would be obligated to consider offers at that price. The club is also evaluating how Bremer fits into coach Allegri’s tactical plans, particularly given his recent physical struggles. Should a substantial offer from a top European club arrive, Juventus are likely to seriously consider a sale, especially with the potential for Bremer to feature prominently for Brazil at future international tournaments.
Despite the uncertainty, Bremer remains committed to Juventus and is determined to regain his form and contribute to the team’s success. His immediate focus is on bouncing back from his recent mistake and proving his value on the pitch.
