Chelsea and Tottenham ready to start £34million bidding auction for Serie A team of season defender Gleison Bremer

CHELSEA are reportedly ready to fight Tottenham to sign Torino defender Gleison Bremer.

The Brazilian centre-back, 25, has caught the eye with his impressive displays in Italy this term.

And those performances were enough to earn him a place in the Serie A team of the season.

Now he could be heading to the Premier League as the Blues prepare to step-up their pursuit of him.

Thomas Tuchel is desperate for defensive reinforcements after the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.

Skipper Cesar Azpilicueta is also being linked with a move to Barcelona - which would leave Chelsea severely depleted at the back.

And are now claiming that Bremer is the man that they want to add to their ranks at Stamford Bridge.

However, Antonio Conte’s Spurs are also interested in the former Atletico Mineiro ace and a £34m bidding war could be about to start between the two rivals.

And the Premier League duo will also face competition from abroad in the chase to secure Bremer.

This fresh report also claims that Bayern Munich are plotting a swoop for him also.

Bremer moved to Torino from his homeland back in 2018 and remains under contract until 2024.

He was recently also linked with a transfer to Inter Milan.

But now it seems that Chelsea could be leading the race for him.
