FC Cincinnati striker Brenner reportedly missed out on a "dream" move to the Premier League, after Nottingham Forest launched a bid to sign him in January.
Forest reportedly offered to take the player on loan initially, and the deal would include a buyout clause that would be triggered by performance markers. In the end, problems with obtaining a work permit saw the move collapse, according to The Athletic.
"As the talks kind of unfolded and the transfer wasn’t going to happen, there was frustration [from Brenner]," Cincinnati coach Pat Noonan explained.
