Tottenham Hotspur are targeting Juventus centre-back Bremer to bolster their defensive line. Roberto De Zerbi is determined to address a backline that conceded heavily last season, and despite Spurs already signing Marcos Senesi and Andrew Robertson, further defensive additions are expected at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The ‘devastating’ Bremer has earned a reputation as one of the most dominant centre-backs in Italian football. While Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti considers him a key part of his squad, the club’s hierarchy faces significant financial pressures and may be forced to consider a sale, especially given Bremer’s contract includes a €58 million release clause.
To reduce the financial outlay, Tottenham are prepared to include Vicario in negotiations. The ‘exceptional’ 29-year-old Italian goalkeeper endured an inconsistent spell in North London, and Spurs are open to his departure, with De Zerbi reportedly keen on a reunion with Brighton & Hove Albion keeper Bart Verbruggen. This potential swap would also help Juventus in their search for a top goalkeeper. The Bianconeri are actively looking for a long-term option in goal, having recently failed in their pursuit of Liverpool’s Alisson Becker and now exploring alternatives such as Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez.
Vicario still holds a strong reputation in Italy from his standout days at Empoli, and the chance to return to Serie A with Juventus is an enticing prospect that could appeal to all parties involved. Meanwhile, Bremer is not the only defender on Tottenham’s radar as the North Londoners remain in contact with Brighton over a deal for Jan Paul van Hecke. Spurs have already had two bids rejected but are prepared to return with an improved offer.
