Remarkably, Brenner has even agreed to take a pay cut to make the move happen \u2014 eager to return to the club where he enjoyed the best spell of his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brenner\u2019s history with Cincinnati is well known: after arriving from S\u00e3o Paulo in 2021 for a then club-record fee, he tallied <strong>18 goals and six assists in 2022<\/strong>, spearheading a lethal attack alongside Lucho Acosta and Brandon Vazquez. His performances earned him a big-money transfer to Udinese for over $11 million in 2023, but he struggled for consistency in Serie A, managing just <strong>2 goals and 2 assists in 19 appearances<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the forward is set for a reunion with a reloaded Cincy frontline featuring <strong>MVP candidate Evander<\/strong> and record signing <strong>Kevin Denkey<\/strong>. Sitting atop the Eastern Conference and level in the Supporters\u2019 Shield race with San Diego FC, Cincinnati see Brenner as the perfect reinforcement to fuel their trophy push in 2025 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Could this be the move that turns FC Cincinnati from contenders into champions? Stay tuned as the deal edges closer to completion before Thursday\u2019s transfer deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a stunning twist before the MLS transfer deadline, FC Cincinnati have reached an agreement to bring back<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-david-ornstein-reports-newcastles-40m-bid-for-yoane-wissa-rejecte","category--fc-cincinnati-pull-off-shock-move-for-brenner-comeback"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 -
