Juventus’ blitzkrieg succeeded, Gleison Bremer is a Bianconeri! Perhaps the best center defender of the Italian Serie A last season signed a five-year contract with the Old Lady worth 6 million euros per season with bonuses included.Torino did more than well in this deal – they got more than they had hoped for. Juventus will pay their city rival 41 million euros fixed plus another 9 million through bonuses, of which 4 million euros are easily achievable bonuses. Juventus spent more than half of the amount earned by selling Matthijs De Ligt to Bayern (67 million + 10 million), but at least they got the right solution in the back line after the departures of Chiellini and the aforementioned Dutchman.PogBACK – return of the “crazy champion”De Ligt never lived up to high expectations in Turin. He didn’t like the Bianconeri style of play, but neither did Italian football. He made too many mistakes, caused too many penalties and in the end, Juve at least got most of what they invested in him.The Turin club decided to bet on the safe side. Bremer spent four seasons in Turin, adapted to Serie A and Italian football and completely exploded last season. Whether he was better in the air or on the ground is hard to say. He especially stood out with phenomenal performances against the league’s best strikers Vlahović, Immobile, Giroud and others – whom he ‘devoured’ in head-to-head encounters.##NAJAVA_MECA_6514756##Impressive performances did not go unnoticed and big clubs started to chase after him in the winter. Bremer had a verbal promise from Torino boss Urbano Cairo to let him go anywhere he wanted this summer for 25 million only if he extended his contract for another season. Bremer trusted Cairo and signed, but Cairo did not live up to his part of the deal.When Inter agreed on everything with the player and came to pay the mentioned 25 million euros, Cairo decided to play hardball and ‘start an auction’. Inter were ready to pay around 40 million euros, but Juve offered more and Cairo did not mind sending the best player to the city rival.Roma are becoming a mighty team as Mourinho welcomes Dybala with open armsNo need to waste words on how sweet it is for Juventus to steal a massive signing from their biggest rival and leave them in ‘trouble’. It could even be said that Bremer was destined for Inter because his father named him after Inter legend Andreas Brehme. But Juventus reshaped destiny in their own way…Bremer’s life story is similar to the stories of millions of Brazilian footballers. He grew up on a farm in an ordinary family. His father was an amateur football player; because of him, Gleison fell in love with this sport. His father’s friend was a football agent and he took him to Sao Paulo, from where he paved the way with the giant steps he makes on the pitch today…Alzate il volume!🗣 Un messaggio da Gleison ⚪️⚫️#WelcomeBremer pic.twitter.com/Hh8PWn5WES— JuventusFC (@juventusfc) July 20, 2022 Torino brought Bremer as option B because they couldn’t get Bremer’s compatriot Verissimo who went to Porto. Verissimo was more of a stopper type like Bonucci and Bremer like Chiellini. In Turin, Bremer was slow to fit in because Brazilian and Italian football are not very similar. But when he learned the ways of Italian Serie A, he turned into a beast. He runs 100 meters in 11 seconds and is considered the fastest stopper in the league. He can also play right back if needed, and he doesn’t care if he plays in a formation where there is three or four in the back line.Juventus got themselves a defensive pillar for the next five years.
