Vasco da Gama received its main reinforcement for the attack this season on the morning of this Friday (23). The center-forward Brenner, 26 years old, landed at Tom Jobim International Airport to undergo medical exams and sign a contract valid until the end of 2029. The purchase operation from Udinese (Italy) will cost 5 million euros (R$ 31 million), a value that will be paid in installments by the Rio de Janeiro club over about three years.
In his first words as a Vasco player, Brenner did not hide that the presence of Fernando Diniz was decisive. The two worked together at São Paulo and Fluminense. The forward joked about the coach's approach:
“He doesn't give you much choice, does he? (laughs). You have to come, it's an order. Happy that he called me and to work with him once again. It weighed heavily, he is someone whom I and my family admire a lot.”

Brenner arrives to meet the need for a more mobile forward, a requirement requested by the coaching staff. Coming from a loan to FC Cincinnati, where he scored six goals in ten games at the end of last year, he defined his playing style:
“I am a forward who likes to be close to the goal and also go out to play. I come to add, to contribute.”
