Juventus have revived their interest in AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori as they consider possible replacements for Gleison Bremer ahead of the January transfer window.
Bremer’s future has come under fresh scrutiny following renewed interest from Bayer Leverkusen and comments that prompted Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti to address the squad in an effort to restore unity.
With finances tight, sporting director Frederic Massara is reviewing the club’s transfer options, with Tomori emerging as a potential target should the Brazilian defender leave.
Bremer’s contract runs until June 30, 2029, after being renewed in August 2024.
However, his remaining book value has gradually declined, standing at around €20m as of June 30, 2026, and expected to fall to approximately €16m by January.
That figure would determine the capital gain Juventus could record from a potential sale.
The defender also earns €5m net annually, equivalent to €9.2m gross, placing him among the three most expensive players on the club’s books.
Against that financial backdrop, Carnevali and Massara are weighing their options as they seek to reduce squad costs in line with the club’s settlement agreement with UEFA.
After Juventus failed to sell Bremer during the summer, interest from Bayer Leverkusen could provide an opportunity to secure his departure if a sufficiently attractive offer arrives.
However, Bremer is no longer considered untouchable, and any club seeking his signature would have to pay Juventus significantly more than the €35m reportedly being discussed in Germany.
Should the defender leave in January, Juventus would need to recruit a replacement, and Tomori remains a leading candidate.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Massara continues to favour the AC Milan centre-back, whom he has admired since the club’s Serie A title-winning campaign.
Tomori’s contract expires on June 30, 2027, while Amorim left him out of the squad during the summer. Those circumstances could make a deal more affordable for Juventus.
Signing the English defender at a relatively low cost would also leave the Italian club with greater financial flexibility to pursue its long-awaited attacking reinforcement.
