Early life and youth career
Early life
Gleison Bremer Silva Nascimento was born on 18 March 1997 in Itapitanga, a rural municipality in the state of Bahia, Brazil. His father, a football enthusiast who had played for Brazil's amateur national team, named him after Andreas Brehme, the German defender who scored the winning penalty in the 1990 FIFA World Cup final, a player he greatly admired. The family also named Bremer's older brother Kennedy after former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, reflecting their father's habit of honoring admired figures.[8] Bremer grew up in a close-knit, working-class household with agricultural roots, where his father worked on the family farm and introduced him to the basics of football during his childhood. Without access to formal coaching in the remote countryside, Bremer learned the game's fundamentals from his father while helping with farm chores, balancing rural labor with informal play on the streets of Itapitanga. This modest environment, marked by limited resources, instilled a resilient work ethic that would define his career.[9][8] His early interest in football was sparked by watching Brazilian national team matches on television and idolizing prominent defenders such as Thiago Silva and David Luiz, whose styles influenced his development as a center-back. These formative experiences in Itapitanga laid the groundwork for his passion, leading him to pursue organized youth training later in his teens.[8][10]Youth career
Bremer relocated from his hometown of Itapitanga in Bahia to São Paulo at the age of 14 in 2011 to pursue football opportunities, supported by his family. At 16, in 2013, he joined the youth academy of Desportivo Brasil, a club known for developing young talents through partnerships with international teams, where he began formal training and played in youth competitions.[8] In the Desportivo Brasil youth setup, Bremer established himself as a centre-back, focusing on defensive positioning and physicality derived from his earlier street football experiences, while participating in regional youth tournaments that highlighted his aggressive tackling and aerial ability. During his early youth career, Bremer sold ice cream to help pay for transportation to away games.[11] In 2016, he was loaned to São Paulo's under-20 team to build further match experience against stronger opposition in competitive youth leagues.[6][8][12] His performances in these youth environments drew attention from larger clubs, leading to his scouting by Atlético Mineiro in late 2016; he signed his first professional youth contract with the club on January 1, 2017, at age 19, transitioning to their under-20 squad ahead of his senior debut later that year.[9][13]Club career
Atlético Mineiro
Bremer joined Atlético Mineiro in January 2017, signing a professional contract with the club after developing at Desportivo Brasil and spending 2016 on loan at São Paulo's youth academy. His senior debut for Atlético Mineiro came on 29 January 2017 in the Campeonato Mineiro, marking the start of his breakthrough at the club. In 2017, Bremer featured in 26 appearances across all competitions, showcasing his potential as a centre-back with strong aerial ability and physicality. His contributions were instrumental in Atlético Mineiro's successful campaign, culminating in the 2017 Campeonato Mineiro title, the club's 43rd in the competition.[14][15] By 2018, Bremer had established himself as a regular starter in the Brazilian Série A, playing 14 matches despite occasional defensive lapses noted by analysts in his early outings. He scored two goals in total during his time at the club, including notable strikes in domestic fixtures that highlighted his offensive threat from set pieces. His performances attracted attention from European clubs, leading to his departure.[14] In July 2018, Bremer transferred to Torino for a fee of €5.8 million after 42 total appearances and two goals for Atlético Mineiro, ending a promising spell that solidified his reputation as one of Brazil's emerging defensive talents.[16]Torino
Bremer joined Torino on 20 July 2018, marking his transition to European football from Atlético Mineiro. His Serie A debut followed shortly after on 19 August 2018, when he came on as a substitute in a 0–1 home loss to Roma, showcasing his physical presence and defensive awareness from the outset. Adapting swiftly to the tactical demands of Italian football, Bremer became a regular starter by the midway point of the 2018–19 season, forming a solid central defensive partnership that contributed to Torino's seventh-place finish.[17] Across his four seasons with Torino from 2018 to 2022, Bremer appeared in 110 matches across all competitions, netting 13 goals while excelling in aerial duels—often winning over 4 per game—and interceptions, with league-leading figures of 3.2 per match in 2021–22.[18] His consistency was pivotal in securing mid-table positions for the club, including ninth and tenth places in 2019–20 and 2020–21, respectively, where his robust tackling and positioning helped mitigate defensive vulnerabilities.[19] The 2020–21 campaign stood out particularly, as Bremer scored 3 goals amid a season plagued by teammate injuries, providing essential solidity that limited Torino to just 44 goals conceded in the league.[20] In recognition of his leadership and performances, Bremer was appointed captain for the 2021–22 season, wearing the armband in multiple fixtures and guiding the team to another tenth-place finish.[20] By this point, his reputation as one of Serie A's top defenders had solidified, leading to interest from multiple clubs; however, after rejecting offers from rivals like Inter Milan, he transferred to Juventus in July 2022 for €41 million plus up to €8 million in bonuses.[21] This move represented Torino's record sale and capped Bremer's growth into a cornerstone defender during his time in Turin.[17]Juventus
Bremer joined Juventus from Torino on 20 July 2022, signing a five-year contract for a reported fee of €41 million plus bonuses.[22] He made his debut for the club on 14 August 2022 in a 2–0 Serie A away win against Sassuolo, where he started alongside Danilo in a back three, quickly establishing a reliable central defensive partnership that anchored Juventus' defense throughout the campaign.[23] During the 2022–23 season, Bremer featured in 45 matches across all competitions, scoring 5 goals, and earned a spot in the Serie A Team of the Season for his consistent performances, including 3 goals in league play.[24] His contributions were instrumental in Juventus reaching the Coppa Italia final, where they lost 1–0 to Inter Milan, though Bremer had scored the decisive goal in the quarter-final victory over Lazio.[25] In the 2023–24 season, Bremer played 52 games in all competitions, helping Juventus secure the Coppa Italia title with a 1–0 win over Atalanta in the final; he contributed to progression in the semi-final against Lazio.[26] His form led to contract extensions in December 2023 and August 2024, tying him to the club until 2029.[27] In 2024–25, he was limited to 6 appearances due to recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in October 2024. Bremer's market value peaked at €50 million during this period, reflecting his pivotal role in Juventus' defensive rebuild.[1] Bremer continued as vice-captain in the 2025–26 season, making 5 appearances before sustaining a meniscus injury during training in October 2025, undergoing surgery on 13 October. As of November 2025, he remains in recovery, with a return expected in December 2025. By November 2025, Bremer had amassed approximately 104 appearances for Juventus, solidifying his status as a cornerstone of the team's backline.[14][28]International career
Senior debut and early appearances
Bremer received his first call-up to the Brazil senior national team on 9 September 2022, when coach Tite named him in the 26-man squad for pre-World Cup friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia.[29] He made his international debut four days later on 23 September 2022, substituting for Thiago Silva at halftime during Brazil's 3–0 friendly win over Ghana in Le Havre, France, and played the full second half.[30] Bremer did not feature in the subsequent 5–1 friendly victory against Tunisia on 27 September 2022.[31] Included in Brazil's 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Bremer earned his second cap on 2 December 2022, starting alongside Éder Militão in central defense for the group-stage finale against Cameroon and playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 defeat at Lusail Stadium.[32] Three days later, in the round of 16 against South Korea at Stadium 974 in Doha, Bremer came on as a substitute for Danilo in the 72nd minute, playing 19 minutes and contributing to a 4–1 victory as Brazil advanced to the quarterfinals.[33] In March 2023, Bremer received a late call-up on 19 March to replace the injured Marquinhos for the friendly against Morocco but remained an unused substitute in the 2–1 loss in Tangier.[34] Bremer earned his third cap on 23 March 2024, substituting in the 90th minute during Brazil's 1–0 friendly win over England at Wembley Stadium.[35] His fourth cap came on 8 June 2024, starting and playing the full 90 minutes in a 3–2 friendly victory against Mexico in Dallas.[35] By the end of 2023, Bremer had earned three caps for Brazil—all as a centre-back—solidifying his role as a reliable backup option behind incumbents Marquinhos and Thiago Silva amid the team's transition following the World Cup.[3]Major tournaments
Bremer earned his first major tournament call-up for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where he was named in Brazil's 26-man squad by head coach Tite. He featured in two matches during the tournament: starting in the group stage loss to Cameroon (0–1 on December 2), playing the full 90 minutes, and making a substitute appearance in the round of 16 win against South Korea (4–1 on December 5), entering in the 72nd minute to replace Danilo and contributing to a solid defensive performance as Brazil advanced.[36] Brazil progressed to the quarter-finals but were eliminated by Croatia in a 1–1 draw decided by penalties on December 9, with Bremer an unused substitute in that match.[37] His World Cup showings highlighted his composure in high-stakes games, earning praise for his aerial duels and positioning. In the 2024 Copa América, Bremer was initially overlooked for the preliminary squad announced on May 10 but was added to the final 26-man roster on May 20 by coach Dorival Júnior, joining Juventus teammate Danilo as one of the Serie A representatives.[38] Despite being available as a center-back option amid injuries to players like Éder Militão, Bremer did not feature in any of Brazil's four matches, remaining an unused substitute throughout.[39] He was part of the defensive rotation that included Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, and Fágner, noted for providing depth in training and organization, though starters like Marquinhos anchored the backline. Brazil topped their group with wins over Costa Rica (2–0) and Colombia (1–0), and a draw with Paraguay (0–0), before exiting in the quarter-finals with a 0–0 draw against Uruguay decided by penalties on July 6.[38] Regarding the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Bremer has been a frequent inclusion in Brazil's squads during the 2024–2025 period, serving as a rotational defender amid competition from younger talents like Gabriel Magalhães and established figures like Marquinhos. He was called up for matches against Chile and Peru in October 2024 but withdrew due to an ACL injury sustained in club duty, missing those fixtures.[40] Earlier in the campaign, Bremer featured as an unused substitute in several qualifiers, contributing to Brazil's qualification efforts from the bench while focusing on recovery and integration.[41] No starts or appearances in qualifiers have been recorded for him as of November 2025, reflecting his role as a reliable backup in a competitive defensive unit. By November 2025, Bremer's overall senior international record stands at 5 caps with no goals, all earned between 2022 and 2024, primarily in friendlies and the 2022 World Cup. His limited playing time in major tournaments underscores his status as a rotational starter for Brazil, where he competes with a deep pool of center-backs but has been consistently selected for his club form at Juventus and defensive reliability.Playing style and reputation
Style of play
Gleison Bremer is a primarily right-footed centre-back renowned for his aggressive tackling and strong performance in one-on-one situations.[42][1] His defensive prowess is highlighted by a high rate of defensive duel wins, reaching 75.4% in Serie A during the 2023-24 season, and effective interceptions that demonstrate his ability to read the game.[43] Bremer excels in man-marking, using his physical presence and quick recovery to neutralize attackers, often winning possession in tight spaces.[44] Aerial dominance is a key aspect of Bremer's game, bolstered by his 1.88 m height, which aids in securing headers both defensively and offensively.[1] He ranks in the 84th percentile among centre-backs in Europe's top five leagues for aerial duels won, making him a formidable presence in set-piece defending where his positioning and timing prevent opposition threats.[45] Occasionally, Bremer contributes forward with forays into the attacking third, scoring goals primarily through headers from corners and free-kicks, showcasing his sharp instincts in the box.[46] Bremer is comfortable playing out from the back, with a pass accuracy of approximately 85-86% in Serie A matches, enabling him to initiate build-up play effectively.[42][47] He demonstrates progressive passing ability, averaging around 3.5 to 5 progressive passes per 90 minutes across seasons, which helps advance the ball and support transitions.[48] Upon moving to Italy from Brazil, Bremer adapted by improving his positional discipline, reducing rash challenges and earning fewer disciplinary cards compared to his early career, where he occasionally committed more aggressive fouls.[46][49]Reputation and comparisons
Gleison Bremer has been widely praised by coaches for his leadership qualities and consistent performances on the pitch. Juventus manager Thiago Motta highlighted Bremer's potential as an ideal captain, noting his reliability and influence within the team during the 2024–25 season.[50] Motta also identified Bremer as one of the key leaders helping integrate younger players into the squad ahead of crucial matches.[51] Bremer's individual accolades underscore his standing in Serie A. He was selected to the Serie A Team of the Season for 2022–23, recognizing his pivotal role in Juventus' defense that year.[24] Earlier, at Torino, he earned the Serie A Best Defender award for the 2021–22 campaign, cementing his reputation as one of the league's top centre-backs. Bremer is often compared to prominent Brazilian defenders like Thiago Silva for his composure under pressure and tactical awareness. He has cited Silva as a major inspiration, admiring his ability to read the game and maintain poise in high-stakes situations.[52] Similarly, observers draw parallels to Italian stalwarts such as Giorgio Chiellini for Bremer's tenacity and aggressive defending style; Chiellini himself has praised Bremer as a superior Juventus defender in terms of physicality and consistency.[53] Bremer has acknowledged Chiellini's influence, drawing motivation from the veteran's resilience and leadership during his own time at the club.[54] Media coverage has frequently noted Bremer's mental resilience following injuries, particularly after his anterior cruciate ligament tear in October 2024, from which he returned to action in August 2025 and featured in four Serie A matches in the early 2025–26 season. His subsequent meniscus injury in October 2025 further emphasized his irreplaceability; as of November 2025, he remains sidelined, targeting a return in early December and continuing to prompt concerns over Juventus' defensive stability in both Serie A and the Champions League.[55][56][28][57][3]Personal life
Family and background
Bremer hails from a close-knit family in Itapitanga, Bahia, Brazil, where he grew up learning the value of discipline through labor on the family farm. His father, a former amateur footballer who played at the local level in Brazil, introduced him to the sport's fundamentals while instilling a strong work ethic via these early responsibilities.[9] He has been in a long-term relationship with Déborah Claudino since their teenage years in Brazil, and the couple married in 2018 before welcoming their daughter Ágatha in October 2020. The family relocated to Turin in 2022 following Bremer's transfer to Juventus, adapting to life in Italy while maintaining close bonds with relatives back home. Bremer often credits his family's unwavering support for helping him navigate major career transitions, including his 2017 move to Atlético Mineiro and his 2018 departure to Torino in Europe.[58][59][60] Bremer maintains deep ties to his Brazilian heritage, frequently visiting family in his home country to recharge amid professional demands. In a September 2025 interview, he highlighted the pivotal role his family played in his mental and emotional recovery from a severe knee injury that sidelined him for 304 days, while underscoring his preference for keeping personal matters private to protect their well-being. As of November 2025, he is also receiving family support during recovery from a subsequent meniscus injury sustained in October 2025.[61][60][62]Philanthropy and interests
Bremer actively supports religious causes, rooted in his Christian faith, which he has described as a key motivator in his personal and professional life.[61]Career statistics and honours
