Brenner keen on Vasco move, Udinese open to considering offer | OneFootball

Vasco da Gama remains active in the transfer market and keeps Brenner as its main target to strengthen the offensive sector in 2026. According to information from journalist Valentin Furlan of UOL, the striker has given a positive indication regarding the possibility of playing for the Rio de Janeiro club, while Udinese, which owns his rights, is open to considering a proposal.

The talks are still at an early stage and no official offer has been sent so far. However, there is already a dialogue between Vasco and Udinese representatives, with the Italian club admitting it is willing to consider a loan deal.

Loan with purchase option is the scenario being considered

Internally, Vasco is considering submitting a loan proposal with a purchase option at the end of the contract. The board is handling the matter cautiously, evaluating values and conditions before formalizing any move, but keeps the player at the top of the priority list for the attack.

Revealed by São Paulo, Brenner experienced the best moment of his career precisely under the command of Fernando Diniz, a factor that positively influences Vasco’s interest. The previous relationship with the coach is seen as a facilitator in a possible negotiation.

Contract situation and return to Udinese

In the last season, Brenner played the second half on loan at FC Cincinnati, in the United States. With the end of that contract, the striker returns to Udinese, the club with which he has a current contract.

Even with other teams monitoring the market, Vasco currently appears as the club most interested in the player. The expectation is that, if talks progress, an official proposal will be presented in the coming days.
