The two clubs have already agreed to the terms of the transfer and are expected to finalize it by the end of the week. Reportedly, Udinese will pay $10 million for Brenner’s services. The player will remain with Cincinnati until the summer and will move to Italy once the European transfer window opens.

Brenner was one of the biggest stories of the 2022 MLS season, scoring 18 goals and adding six assists in 29 games. The Brazilian hasn’t been cold to start the 2023 campaign, scoring just once in seven games, but apparently didn’t discourage Udinese from beating other clubs for his signature. 

There was significant interest in Brenner in January when Udinese saw its initial bid rejected. The Premier League’s Nottingham Forrest and Eredivisie side PSV also made a run for the talented forward, but their bids fell short of Cincinnati’s evaluation.

Brenner started his professional career in his native Brazil, playing for Sao Paulo and Fluminense. He joined Cincinnati ahead of the 2021 MLS season for a reported $13 million. Since then, he has played 69 games and scored 27 goals to go with eight assists.

According to reports, Locadia, who signed as a Designated Player, will arrive in MLS on a loan deal until July while Cincinnati holds an option to make the move permanent afterward.

Locadia started the season with Brighton but played only two games before he was sent on loan to Bundesliga side 1899 Hoffenheim. He played 11 games in Germany and scored four goals.

FC Cincinnati made the move official via their social media.

“We are excited to bring in a proven forward in Jürgen to strengthen our attacking abilities,” said FC Cincinnati general manager Gerard Nijkamp in a statement. “He is a talented goalscorer in his prime, and we feel adding an impact player of his caliber will be a great addition to our club. We look forward to welcoming Jürgen to our club and city.”

Jurgen Locadia started his professional career with Dutch powerhouse PSV, where he scored 62 goals in 176 games between 2011 and 2018. In 2018, he joined Brighton in a transfer worth close to $20 million.

Locadia was a starter in his first season in England but failed to match his previous production. His struggles in front of the goal caused him to lose his place in the starting 11, and eventually led him to the club’s exit door. He scored six goals in 43 games with Brighton.

Cincinnati announced on Thursday morning that they have signed U.S. international winger Joe Gyau from German side MSV Duisburg. Financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed.

“We are delighted to welcome Joe to FC Cincinnati,” – said FC Cincinnati’s general manager Gerard Nijkamp in a statement. “We feel his ability and pace are a good fit for our style of play and he will provide another attacking option on our roster.”

Gyau spent his entire professional career in Germany, where he played with 1899 Hoffenheim, St. Pauli, and Borussia Dortmund among other teams. He made 20 appearances with Duisburg in 2018/19 season and scored two goals.

Joe Gyau made his international debut with USMNT in 2014, but injuries and inconsistency kept him out of the team for the previous four years. Things changed in 2019, as the 26-year-old received a call up from Gregg Berhalter early in the year.

Besides Gyau, FC Cincinnati also managed to finalize a deal for midfielder Derrick Etienne Jr. on Wednesday. Etienne joined Cincinnati from New York Red Bulls on a loan until the end of the season.
