Gleison Bremer Silva Nascimento (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈɡlɛjsõ ˈbɾɛmɛʁ]; born 18 March 1997), known as Gleison Bremer or simply Bremer, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie A club Juventus and the Brazil national team.
The name Bremer was chosen by his father in honour of the German footballer Andreas Brehme.[4]
Born in Itapetinga, Bahia, Bremer joined Desportivo Brasil in 2014, aged 17. In 2016 he was loaned to São Paulo for one year, and was initially assigned to the under-20 squad. He made his professional debut with the reserves on 12 October of that year, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–0 home loss against Rio Claro, for the year's Copa Paulista.[5]
In March 2017, Bremer moved to Atlético Mineiro for a fee of R$ 380,000.[6] Promoted to the main squad in June, he made his first team – and Série A – debut on 25 June, replacing injured Rodrigão in a 1–0 away win against Chapecoense.[7] On 11 July 2017, Bremer renewed his contract until the end of 2021.[8]
On 10 July 2018, Bremer joined Italian club Torino on a five-year deal.[9] He made his debut with the Granata on 12 August in the Coppa Italia against Cosenza (4–0), entering in the 23rd minutes of the second half in place of Armando Izzo.[citation needed] On 19 August he made his debut in Serie A, once again as a substitute for Izzo, in a game lost 1–0 against Roma.[citation needed] Bremer made his first appearance as a starter on 3 May 2019 in the Turin deby, a 1–1 draw against Juventus.[citation needed] In his first season with Torino he made a total of seven appearances between Serie A and the Coppa Italia, mainly as a reserve to Emiliano Moretti and Koffi Djidji.[citation needed]
After Moretti's retirement at the end of the season, Walter Mazzarri began using Bremer as a starter at the beginning of the 2019–20 season.[citation needed] On 25 July 2019, he made his debut in UEFA competitions, in the first qualifying round of the Europa League against Debrecen.[citation needed] In the second qualifying round, he scored an own goal in a 3–2 home loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers.[citation needed]
In the 2020–21 season, Bremer began to play as a starter for Torino with more continuity, and on 30 November 2020 scored the match-winning goal in an away win against Genoa (1–0).[citation needed] On 28 January 2020, he scored a brace in the Coppa Italia, which ended in a 4–2 defeat against AC Milan.[citation needed] Following the resumption of the season, he played all games as a starter for Torino and contributed a further two goals.[citation needed] He ended the season with a total of 35 appearances and five goals in all competitions.[citation needed]
On 2 February 2022, Bremer extended his contract with the club until 2024.[10] His performances offered throughout the 2021–22 season earned him the award as the best defender of the Serie A season.[11]
On 20 July 2022, Bremer joined rival club Juventus on a five-year deal.[12] He made his competitive debut on 15 August, in a Serie A 3–0 win over Sassuolo.[13] On 11 September, he scored his first goal for the Bianconeri, in a 2–2 draw to Salernitana in the league.[14] On 28 February 2023, Bremer scored for Juventus against his former club Torino in a 4–2 Derby della Mole win.[15]
On 27 December 2023, after establishing himself in Juventus' defence during the first half of the season, Bremer extended his contract with The Old Lady until 2028.[16]
On 9 September 2022, Bremer received his first call up to the Brazil national team, for friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia.[17] He made his debut against Ghana on 23 September, in a 3–0 win.[18] On 7 November, he was named in the squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[19]
Bremer is a physically strong centre-back with excellent aerial ability and sense of positioning.[20] A versatile player, he has notable speed, and has said to be inspired by the Brazilian defender Lúcio.[21]
