Brest expects to experience an unprecedented summer. For the club qualified for the first time in its history for a European Cup, and what’s more in the Champions League, the management of the transfer window will be crucial. The C1 is a significant factor in the negotiations, and the sporting director Grégory Lorenzi warned during an interview with The Team mid-June : “We will try to remain faithful to our usual line of conduct. We must not stray and I prefer to cool those who dream of prestigious names.”
An extension that drags on
If this strategy applies to the search for reinforcements, it also concerns those already present and aspiring to new contracts. While discussions were underway between Stade Brestois and Steve Mounié with a view to an extension, the attacker’s salary demands are said to have slowed down the talks. At the same time, the former Montpellier player is said to be negotiating with a Turkish club.
Mounié to Turkey
According to the Turkish press, Konyaspor has reportedly approached the Beninese international (45 caps, 14 goals). While an agreement has reportedly been reached between the two parties, Mounié has reportedly revised his demands upwards, demanding an annual salary of 2 million euros. The 29-year-old player has reportedly received a counter-proposal to finalize his transfer.
After playing in France (Montpellier, Nîmes, Brest) and England (Huddersfield), the 1m90 center forward could discover a third championship in his career. For Stade Brestois, in the event of the departure of the man who scored 6 goals in 32 Ligue 1 matches last season, the objective will be to find a new scorer in anticipation of the rich season that awaits the Bretons.
