Brenner

The move that took Brenner back to Brazil in January 2026 came at the request of a coach he had already worked for. Vasco da Gama asked Udinese to sign him; the club paid Udinese €5m fixed plus up to €6.5m in bonuses.

He had joined the academy in 2011 and made his first-team debut in 2017. In total he played 74 matches for São Paulo and scored 26.

Across two seasons in Italy he made 17 Serie A appearances and scored once, adding a goal in the Coppa Italia. A 2025 loan back to Cincinnati produced four goals in six matches before he returned to Udinese at the end of that year.

That same month he suffered a foot injury against Bahia and was ruled out for 45 days.

He played 11 times for Brazil's under-17 side between 2015 and 2017, scoring four goals, and was part of the squad that won the 2017 South American Under-17 Championship. He has not been called up to the senior national team.
