The Red Devils have identified the Brazilian as their top target for the summer, but they now face a stumbling block.

It was previously reported that they were ready to pay the €60m release clause in his contract which would become active in July.

However, Calciomercato now reveal that there is no buy-out clause this summer and it will only be active in July of next year.

The news is a huge setback for United. The Bianconeri are currently happy to keep Bremer unless they receive a significant transfer bid.

It is quite clear that United may have to pay much more than €60m. A package of around €80m could be required to sign him.

With Financial Fair Play issues, the club's hierarchy could be forced to look elsewhere in their bid to land a new centre-back this summer.
