Chelsea fall behind in race for in-demand Serie A centre back

Chelsea are likely to want to buy two central defenders this summer, given they’re losing two of them, which means that they’re being linked with pretty much every decent one on the market.

Gleison Bremer at Torino is certainly decent by all accounts, although we’re not sure how much better than that he is. The sheer number of clubs after him is definitely a good sign he’s highly rated though.

Sempre Inter report that Inter are front runners, ahead of AC Milan, Spurs, Bayern – and Chelsea.

We wouldn’t count us out – we have the potential to outspend all those teams if we really want to – but as it stands it looks like the Brazilian will be staying put in the north of Italy.

He’s just 25 and a mean, tough-tackling defender, with plenty of room to improve. Could this be one we regret not doing now when Man U inevitably buy him for £80m from Inter in a few years?
