Chelsea Are Set To Rival Liverpool For This Juventus Defender: Should Rosenior Go For Him?

Chelsea are ready to go head-to-head with Liverpool in the race to sign Juventus centre-back Gleison Bremer this summer, according to a report from Calciomercato. The 28-year-old Brazilian has emerged as a priority defensive target for the Blues, who believe his no-nonsense style and aerial dominance could transform Liam Rosenior’s back line.

Bremer, who stands 1.88 m, has enjoyed a solid campaign in Turin, scoring three goals and setting up two more in 19 appearances across all competitions. Serie A observers rate him among the division’s most reliable central defenders when confidence is high, and his contract—running until 2029—signals Juventus’ long-term faith in his abilities.

The defender’s key attributes align with Premier League demands: he reads danger early, relishes a well-timed tackle, and clears his lines decisively. Equally comfortable stepping forward to intercept or dropping into last-ditch blocks, Bremer also offers composure in possession, capable of initiating attacks from deep.

With Chelsea expected to prioritise experience and leadership at the heart of defence, the Brazil international’s age profile fits the brief. At 28, he is entering what many analysts consider a centre-back’s peak years, potentially giving Rosenior a battle-ready organiser for an immediate push toward domestic and European silverware.

Yet any deal will require heavy negotiation; Juventus are under no pressure to sell, and the lengthy contract provides the Italian club significant leverage in valuation talks. Whether Chelsea can strike an agreement before Liverpool firm up their own interest remains the summer’s unfolding subplot.

For Rosenior, the question is simple: does he gamble on Bremer’s proven Serie A pedigree translating seamlessly to the faster, more physical rhythm of English football? Early indications from Stamford Bridge suggest the answer is an emphatic yes.
