Fabrício Bruno swears his love to Flamengo but leaves an exit open

Flamengo has proposals on the table for players on its defensive line. After an agreement with Atalanta, from Italy, to sell full-back Wesley, another person who could leave Gávea is Fabrício Bruno. The defender has an offer from Rennes, in France, and does not rule out leaving the red and black. In the mixed zone after the victory over Bolívar 2-0 this Thursday (15), the defender swore his love to Mais Querido, but says he has dreams like European football.

“I think I work a lot every day day, although it is not unanimous for some, but I always try to deliver the best for this club, which I have great affection, respect and love for. I leave home every day with great pleasure in coming here to deliver the results. Nobody argues against dreams. Everyone has their dream. I'm no different, I'm a dreamy kid who comes from a very simple family and I always try to do the best and provide the best for them. Yes, I had it from West Ham and I have it from Rennes, I can't deny something that has already become public, that everyone knows. But I keep working, I keep dedicating myself until the last day I'm here. If it’s something that’s good for me, for Flamengo, let it happen”, declared Fabrício Bruno .

This is not the first time that the 28-year-old defender has received an offer to leave the red and black. In May, Flamengo accepted a proposal from West Ham for Fabrício, but the English club did not reach a financial agreement with the athlete and the negotiation did not proceed. Now, Rennes offers 15 million euros (R$90 million) of which 13.5 million euros (R$81 million) are fixed and 1.5 million (R$9 million) in goals for 90% of the player's economic rights. The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.

Despite not wanting to get rid of one of the squad's starters, the Red and Black leadership understands that such a generous offer for a 28-year-old player would not be likely. The board understands that with Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, David Luiz and the young Cleiton, whom coach Tite calls Bahia and praises a lot in press conferences, the squad would be well served in the role and could use the base if necessary. Flamengo wants to define the situation, whether by the defender's departure or stay, by next Monday (19).

While the negotiation is not finalized, Fabrício Bruno guarantees that he is focusing entirely on Flamengo. “I have my head at ease. Despite all these rumors, it is a dream. I try to stay focused and play great games, as I have always done with this shirt”, concluded the defender.
