Clubs are constantly working on upgrades to the squad, hoping to create a competitive roster before the end of the summer. Some will do a better job than others, but the beauty of the summer window is that it gives every fan a sliver of hope that their beloved team can make the proper offseason adjustments to succeed next season. With that in mind, let’s put the magnifying glass on the world of Serie A transfers and break down the most important deals involving Italian clubs.
Juventus win the Bremer race
Juventus have finally won the race to sign Brazilian defender Gleison Bremer from Torino. After the Bianconeri agreed to sell Matthijs de Ligt to Bayern Munich for around €80 million, adds-on included, they focused on signing Bremer for €47 million, add-ons included, as a replacement. Inter wanted the center-back as well and had been working on signing him for several months, but the de Ligt transfer accelerated the move to Juventus, and the Bianconeri could use that financial boost to help offer more money to Urbano Cairo, the owner of Torino. Inter offered up to €30 million also including young talent Nicolò Casale in the deal, but Torino opted to accept the Juventus bid on Tuesday and the player underwent the medicals with his new club on Wednesday. Bremer will play alongside the new captain of the club, Leonardo Bonucci.
