Why Juventus could sell Man United 'target' Gleison Bremer this summer and other transfer rumours

Manchester United are continuing to be linked with several potential new signings ahead of the summer transfer window.

United have endured a difficult run of form in the Premier League, failing to win any of their previous four Premier League matches. The Reds drew with Bournemouth at the weekend to lose further ground in the battle to finish in the top four.

Erik ten Hag and Co. will now be focused on preparing to face Coventry City this weekend in the semi-final of the FA Cup. Away from the action on the pitch, United are still being linked with players that could be signed when the transfer window opens in the summer.

One of the latest rumours centres around Juventus defender Gleison Bremer. Reports in Italy have claimed that United could make a move to sign Bremer this summer.

According to Calciomercato, United have been showing an interest in signing Bremer for "some time" but it remains to be seen if it will happen this summer. It has been claimed that Bremer has a release clause in his contract worth between €60 million and €70 million (£51m-£60m), but is not able to be activated until 2025.

The report does add, though, that it "cannot be ruled out" that Juventus consider letting Bremer leave the club in the summer. Bremer joined the Serie A giants from Torino in 2022 and is reported to be contracted until 2028.

It is claimed that with Cristiano Giuntoli set for his 'first real window' as Juve sporting director following his appointment last year, the Italian outfit could cash in on Bremer to raise funds for a rebuild of their own and the defender may be deemed 'expendable'.

Elsewhere, United are also continuing to be linked with a move for Benfica midfielder Joao Neves. A report from Portuguese news outlet Record has claimed that Neves could leave Benfica this summer.

As well as United, the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have also been linked with signing the 19-year-old this summer. The report claims that it is "increasingly likely" that Neves leaves Benfica at the end of the season.

This is despite the apparent stance from the Primeira Liga club that they do not want the midfielder to leave. Neves is reported to have a release clause in his contract at Benfica worth €120 million (£102 million).

Other reports in recent months have speculated that Benfica would like to agree to a new contract with Neves that would see the release clause increase in an effort to stop a potential exit.
