Juventus January Plans: Two Options To Replace Gleison Bremer

Aware of the need to strengthen its defence for the second half of the season, Juventus are taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the transfer market.

Two names are rising in the ranks as alternatives.

Getting down to work. Juventus have already started to work on shoring up their squad.

The Bianconeri are focused on January with a clear goal of reinforcing their defense, an area that has faced significant challenges following Gleison Bremer’s injury, which will sideline him for several months.

This aligns with the information reported today in the well-known Italian newspaper ‘Tuttosport‘, which states that the sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has set his sights on Brazil.

There, Léo Ortiz, a fellow Brazilian who plays for Flamengo, has caught his attention.

One eye on Brazil, another on Italy for Gleison Bremer replacement

The 28-year-old is excelling with his team, making it unlikely that Flamengo will let him go easily.

The Brazilian club’s strategy does not include a loan with an option to buy. The only way for a transfer to happen is if the interested club pays 15 million.

The other player who has piqued the interest of the Vecchia Signora is based in Italy.

This time, it’s Ardian Ismajli, a 28-year-old Albanian whom Empoli acquired for 2 million euros in 2021.

This season, he has played 9 matches, successfully defending against several top strikers, including Lukaku, Kean, Dusan Vlahovic, and Dovbyk. A player to keep an eye on.
