The summer transfer window may still be a while away, but that hasn’t stopped the rumours and gossip from swirling around. Juventus centre-back Gleison Bremer is reportedly attracting interest from Manchester United, with a clause in his contract that could see him leave the Italian club in 2025. The Red Devils have been keeping an eye on the 27-year-old for some time, and while negotiations didn’t materialize in the January transfer window, there is potential for a future move. Bremer, a key part of Massimiliano Allegri’s defence, has a contract extension until 2028, but a clause set to activate in 2025 could see him depart for a fee ranging from €60 million to €70 million, based on the interested English club’s size. While Bremer has expressed a desire to play in the Premier League at some point in his career, he is not in a rush to leave Juventus, having turned down an approach from Tottenham Hotspur in the past.
Manchester City could be reigniting their interest in West Ham United midfielder Lucas Paquetá, according to reports from The Guardian. A move last summer fell through due to the Football Association’s investigation into alleged betting breaches, but with a release clause of £85m set to become active in June, Man City may look to make a move once the investigation concludes. The 26-year-old has been on City’s radar for some time, and a potential transfer could be on the cards if all goes well.
Napoli have joined the race to sign Torino centre-back Alessandro Buongiorno, who has expressed his desire for a summer move to play UEFA Champions League football. However, Napoli faces tough competition from AC Milan, Internazionale, Atletico Madrid, and Bayern Munich for the 24-year-old’s signature. Torino is demanding at least €40m for Buongiorno, making it a competitive market for the talented defender.
Chelsea is reportedly keeping tabs on Palmeiras winger Estevão Willian, also known as Messinho, as per reports from Fabrizio Romano. The 16-year-old caught the attention of top clubs after rejecting an offer from Paris Saint-Germain worth €90m in 2022. With a promising start to his senior career, Messinho has already made an impact, scoring against Uruguayan club Liverpool. Chelsea will be closely watching his development as they consider a potential move for the young talent.
Juventus is said to be working in advance to secure the signing of Monza goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio. The 26-year-old is set to spend his first year as a backup to Wojciech Szczęsny before potentially taking over as the No. 1 goalkeeper. Despite interest from Internazionale and Roma, Juventus is leading the race for Di Gregorio’s signature, with the possibility of a big offer for Szczęsny altering the club’s plans.
Fulham, Sheffield United, Southampton, and Queens Park Rangers are all reportedly eyeing a move for Rangers forward Kemar Roofe. The 31-year-old’s contract with the Scottish club is set to expire in the summer, making him available as a free agent. With a number of clubs monitoring his situation, Roofe could be in for a new challenge in the upcoming transfer window.
The summer transfer window is already heating up with potential moves and negotiations in the works. While some players are considering their options and eyeing new challenges, clubs are also making strategic plans to bolster their squads ahead of the next season. With a mix of established stars and rising talents in the transfer market, it will be interesting to see how the summer unfolds for clubs and players alike.
