Leicester City are reportedly eyeing Juventus defender Gleison Bremer as a possible replacement for Caglar Soyuncu, whose contract is due to expire this summer.
The Turkish international has been linked with a move to Atlético Madrid, with reports suggesting that a deal may already be in place between the player and the Spanish club.
Calcio Mercato reports that the Foxes are “serious” about signing Bremer and are willing to spend up to €40m for the 25-year-old centre-back.
The report also suggests that Leicester City could move quickly to secure their services to stay ahead of the competition.
Bremer joined Juventus for around €41m and has become a key part of Massimiliano Allegri’s defence, making 24 appearances for the Italian club this season and scoring twice.
However, with Juventus knocked out of the Champions League, the club would be considering reducing its wage bill, making Bremer a potential target for interested clubs.
Leicester City have struggled this season and currently sit 14th in the table with just 24 points, just four points clear of the relegation zone.
The incorporation of Bremer to the squad would give a boost to the team’s defense and would fill the void it will leave

However, Leicester City will face stiff competition for Bremer’s signature. The Brazilian defender is sure to attract attention from other clubs, particularly if he continues to impress for Juventus in the second half of the season.
Ultimately, the decision to sign Bremer may be down to Leicester City’s performance in the remainder of the season.
If the team can turn things around and finish strong, they may have a better chance of convincing the defender to join. But if the Foxes continue to struggle, Bremer can look elsewhere for his next move.
