Tottenham suffer blow as consistent Juventus star decides against summer transfer

Wait 5 sec.

An experienced Juventus star, who has been on Tottenham’s radar for a long time, has decided against pushing for a transfer this summer.Spurs signed Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton in a £52m deal last week, with the Dutchman becoming the third defensive addition of the summer for the Lilywhites following the arrivals of Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson.However, Roberto De Zerbi’s men may not be done adding to their backline just yet, with another Brazilian centre-back on their wishlist.It was reported earlier this month that Spurs have a huge opportunity to land a Juventus star this summer as a £47m release clause in his contract is now active.Photo by Harry Langer/DeFodi Images/DeFodi via Getty ImagesGleison Bremer makes decision on future amid Tottenham’s interestThe player in question is Gleison Bremer, who has been one of the most consistent central defenders in Serie A for many years.Gianluca Di Marzio has now handed Spurs a blow by revealing that Bremer wants to remain at Juventus and has decided against a move this summer.In fact, it is revealed that the 29-year-old is even willing to extend his contract in Turin following his conversations with the club’s director of football, Giorgio Chiellini.The former Torino man is ready to follow Chiellini’s footsteps and end his career with the Bianconeri as he is happy at the club.Do Spurs need to sign another centre-back this summer?It has been reported for a long time that both Cristian Romero and Radu Dragusin are expected to depart Tottenham this summer.However, they may not be the only defenders to leave, with sources indicating that Luka Vuskovic is ready to hand in a transfer request to Spurs after Brighton stepped up their pursuit of the Croat.De Zerbi would still be left with Micky van de Ven, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke and Kevin Danso as his four main centre-back options, with the option of Ben Davies being available to cover in the event of an injury crisis.One would thus think that unless the Spurs has made up his mind to use a back three next season, the Lilywhites will not be signing another centre-back this summer.READ MORE: ‘Here we go’ – Fabrizio Romano reveals Tottenham close to fourth signing of the summerThe post Tottenham suffer blow as consistent Juventus star decides against summer transfer appeared first on Spurs Web.
