Fabricio Bruno was courted by West Ham, but he had rejected the offer in recent months.

Last month, West Ham saw a deal to sign Flamengo defender Fabricio Bruno break down over personal terms.

Fabricio Bruno, a 28-year-old Brazilian center-back, is being transferred from Flamengo to West Ham. The club has reached a verbal agreement with Flamengo. The transfer fee is 12 million euros plus 1.5 million euros in bonuses.

Flamengo defender Fabrício Bruno, 28, is very close to becoming a reinforcement for West Ham, according to Globo Esporte. The center-back, who represented Cruzeiro, Chapecoense, and Bragantino, arrived at the Rio de Janeiro club in 2022 and has since played 113 games and won a Campeonato Carioca, a Taça do Brasil, and a Taça Libertadores. The one-time Brazil international was signed for about 2.5 million euros and will now yield the rubronegro club €15 million.
