BEHIND THE SCENES OF FLAMENGO: CHECK OUT THE REASON FABRÍCIO BRUNO DIDN’T GO TO WEST HAM

Fabrício Bruno will not leave Flamengo. This Thursday, the defender refused the proposal from West Ham, from England, and chose to remain at the red-and-black club. In addition to all the financial issues, which weighed heavily when making his decision, the player considered the fact that his wife, dental surgeon Ana Clara, was pregnant with the couple's second child.

With one child two-year-old Lucca, the couple would have to move to London immediately if Fabrício accepted West Ham's offer. They assessed that the proposal was not financially advantageous enough to justify the move in the middle of the pregnancy. Together for more than three years, the defender and Ana Clara made their civil marriage official in November 2023.

NEGOTIATION ALMOST AGREE< /p>

The negotiations between Flamengo and West Ham were practically all agreed. However, the English club's salary proposal, which was not significantly higher than what Fabrício receives at Flamengo, was a determining factor in canceling the operation. Furthermore, the contract with West Ham would be valid until the middle of 2028, while his current contract with Flamengo runs until the end of the same year.

The values ​​offered to Flamengo, in the region of 15 million of euros with bonuses, were considered excellent, and the Rio club had given approval for the negotiation. However, the possible transfer divided the board and the coaching staff, who did not want to lose the player.

CELEBRATION FOR PERMANENCE

Fabrício Bruno is an absolute starter and plays a leadership role in the red and black locker room. His stay was celebrated by some members of the team, especially coach Tite, who sees the defender as a fundamental piece for the team's success.
