.Tottenham certainly don’t have enough players in central defense, with Eric Dier being the only senior central defender that Ange Postecoglou could turn to if Crisitan Romero or Micky van de Ven were injured.It’s no surprise, then, that Fichajes now suggests the Premier League side will prioritize signing a top centre-back when the transfer window reopens.TURIN, ITALY – MAY 28: Gleison Bremer of Juventus looks on during the Serie A match between Juventus and AC Milan at Allianz Stadium on May 28, 2023 in Turin, Italy.

The outlet explains that although the 26-year-old has been a pillar of Massimiliano Allegri’s rearguard and has become one of Juve’s main players, he could be tempted by the opportunity to “try his luck in the Premier League.However, Fichajes adds that Spurs are not the only English team to have their eye on Bremer, with the defender apparently also on the radar of some of their rivals.It is believed that although Tottenham are keen to ‘complete’ the deal ‘as quickly as possible’, the price for the former Torino star could skyrocket if a bidding war breaks out.Spurs web reviewsThere is absolutely no chance that Juve would be willing to sell Bremer for just £35m. With the centre-back’s contract at the Allianz Stadium running until 2027, he is expected to cost at least £50m in January and potentially much more if other Premier League sides jump in the game.
