Not the easiest of starts, perhaps. But Gleison Bremer’s first five Serie A matches have closed rather well when assessed with proper objectivity — two crucial goals against Frosinone and Atalanta, solid defensive performances that have established him as the first-choice centre-back of Spalletti’s evolving three-man defence, and a record that places him above Virgil van Dijk as the highest-scoring heading defender across all five major European leagues since 2022. The Sassuolo performance remains a conspicuous blemish — one that the new captain responded to by heading home the winner against Atalanta exactly a week later. The record stands: 12 headed goals in Juventus colours since his debut in 2022-23. Nobody in European football’s top five leagues has bettered that figure in the same period.
The Surprise — Agent Change During the International Break
During the long international break, a development unfolded away from the training ground that has immediate implications for Bremer’s Juventus future. The Brazilian has ended his professional relationship with agent Paolo Busardò and has entrusted his career to Legacy Football Agency — a growing representation company whose key figures include Giovanni Beretta (who also represents Next Gen goalkeeper Fuscaldo) and former Brazilian player Caetano Calil, who had a well-regarded career in Serie B with Crotone and Frosinone. It is a clean break, a deliberate new chapter in the management of his professional interests.
What the Change Means — an Exploratory Summit With Juventus Planned
The immediate question the agent change raises is whether it signals anything specific about the direction Bremer intends to take his career. The honest answer, based on what Tuttosport’s sources have established, is: not necessarily. What is confirmed is that the new agents have a first exploratory meeting with Juventus on their agenda — a conversation whose purpose is to understand where the club stands on the renewal question and begin mapping a possible path forward.
Juventus, for their part, proceed with characteristic caution around Bremer. The detail that most clearly captures the club’s position is one that has not previously been publicly confirmed: during the summer, had an offer approaching the €58 million release clause — which expired on 10 August — arrived at the Continassa, Carnevali and Massara would have evaluated selling the player. The clause’s expiry without an offer materialising is itself revealing: Bremer is valued by the market at a figure slightly below what Juventus set as their price in the summer. That dynamic shapes the renewal negotiation in interesting ways — the club needs to retain him, and retaining him at a financially sustainable salary is considerably more achievable now than selling him was.
The Contract — and What the Second Paywalled Chapter Contains
Bremer’s current contract runs until June 2027 — giving both parties roughly sixteen months before the question becomes urgent. The second chapter of the article, paywalled under the title “Bremer-Juve: il punto sul rinnovo,” maps the specific terms being discussed and the club’s strategic approach. What has filtered publicly is consistent with the broader philosophy: Carnevali wants to extend the contracts of the players central to Spalletti’s project — González, Conceição, Douglas Luiz, and now Bremer — before the approaching expiry creates leverage on the player’s side and external interest makes the negotiation more complicated.
The captain’s armband, worn for the first time since Locatelli’s surgery, carries its own institutional logic. A player Spalletti trusts completely, performing at record-breaking levels between the posts of European statistics, now negotiating his future through a new agency that has immediately placed a meeting with the club on the agenda. The renewal conversation is open. The direction of travel, on the evidence of everything Bremer has said and done this season, points towards Turin.
