Fabricio Bruno, a central defender from Flamengo, is also on Rennes' radar. Previously, Rennes attempted to acquire him in the summer with a 14 million euro offer, which Flamengo rejected. Bruno was called up to the Brazilian national team for the first time in March 2024.

Rennes' pursuit of the Brazilian defender Fabricio Bruno from Flamengo has been halted. The club opted for a left-footed defender instead.

Negotiations are ongoing for the potential transfer of Fabricio Bruno, a 28-year-old Brazilian central defender from Flamengo, to Rennes.

Rennes and Flamengo are close to reaching an agreement for a fee of 12.5 million, plus bonuses. However, the transfer is currently blocked due to the player's salary demands of between 2 and 2.5 million euros annually.
