FC Cincinnati has signed striker Brenner from Sao Paulo, the Brazilian club announced.
Sources told ESPN that the deal is worth around $13 million plus an additional $2m if incentives are met. If the final payout is $15m that would tie the previous record signing in MLS, when Ezequiel Barco moved from Argentina's Independiente to Atlanta in 2018 for $15m.

Sao Paulo said on its website that the fee was a record negotiation for a player moving from South America to North America and added the club would retain 20% of the players' rights in the deal.
