Bremer set to reject Galatasaray as Turkish club pivots to Juventus target Lucumi

Italian reports claim Juventus defender Gleison Bremer is not convinced by Galatasaray, so the Turkish side could turn to Bologna’s Jhon Lucumi instead.

It has been quite some time since the two clubs reached a basic agreement for what would be the transfer fee for the Brazil international.

There were suggestions that Galatasaray were offering Bremer a contract worth €8m per season net, but it might not be enough to draw him into the move.

La Gazzetta dello Sport now report that Bremer is hesitating and seems unlikely to accept the transfer to Turkiye.

He is eager to convince coach Luciano Spalletti that he should remain in Turin, even starting pre-season training two days early to prove his determination.

Galatasaray are therefore looking elsewhere, but still within Serie A, as their next target is Bologna and Colombia international Lucumi.

This is particularly galling for the Bianconeri, who had wanted to sell Bremer in order to make room for Lucumi , even if the €25m asking price is a problem.

They would hope to include midfielder Fabio Miretti as part of the package, although Bologna seem to want only cash.

Bremer likely stays at Juventus, reinforcing their defensive core; Lucumi's destination between Juventus and Galatasaray could affect Bologna's defensive structure and Juventus' squad planning.
