Galatasaray have tabled an €8m-a-year contract offer for Juventus centre-back Gleison Bremer, prompting the Turin club to draw up contingency plans involving Milan‘s Fikayo Tomori and West Ham’s Jean-Clair Todibo.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Brazilian defender has turned down the Turkish club’s proposal but has not ruled out a future move. The development comes as Juventus face mounting pressure to sell key assets to address ongoing financial concerns.
Financial pressures driving potential exit
Juventus may need to offload top players to balance their books, with Bremer among those who could generate significant transfer revenue. While Sky Sport Italia reported in June that the 29-year-old was not seeking a departure from Turin, the club’s economic situation could force a rethink if an appropriate bid materialises.
The €8m annual salary offer from Galatasaray represents a substantial financial package for the defender, who established himself as a key figure in Juventus’ backline since arriving from city rivals Torino in 2022. His potential exit would leave a significant gap in Thiago Motta’s defensive setup.
Replacement targets identified
Should Bremer leave, Juventus are considering approaches for Tomori or Todibo to fill the void.
Tomori maintains strong professional ties with Juventus sporting director Frederic Massara, who orchestrated the England international’s transfer to Milan in 2021. The pair enjoyed success together during the Rossoneri’s 2021-22 Serie A title-winning campaign, giving Juventus confidence that a deal could be structured should Milan consent to sell.
Todibo presents a different profile. The French defender nearly joined Juventus two years ago when Motta was in charge, and his current situation at West Ham has become complicated by the London club’s relegation from the Premier League. This drop to the Championship could make Todibo available on loan, offering Juventus a cost-effective solution to their defensive concerns.
Current status
The situation remains fluid. Bremer has not committed to Galatasaray but has left the door open for negotiations, while Juventus continue monitoring developments. No formal negotiations for either Tomori or Todibo are understood to be underway, with both names representing contingency options rather than active targets.
Juventus supporters will await clarity on Bremer’s intentions, knowing his departure would trigger immediate action to secure a replacement before the transfer window closes.
