Trained at OM in his youth, Hugo Magnetti does not rule out wearing the Olympian jersey in the future, even if for the moment, he is fully focused on his performances in Brest, where history is being made. be written.
Like many players or followers of Stade Brestois, Hugo Magnetti has been living his best life for several months. After a completely crazy last season, with a final podium in the championship, the Breton club is having an incredible 2024-2025 year. Rather solid in L1, despite up-and-down results, SB29 has had a fantastic start to the Champions League campaign, with two victories to start and a draw against Leverkusen last week (1-1). Installed in the Top 5 of the C1 ranking, Brest is therefore living a dream. But one day, all this madness will stop, and Brest inevitably fears falling from its cloud again.
It will then be time for certain executives like Hugo Magnetti to ride the right wave to try to get a better contract in a bigger L1 club. For the 26-year-old midfielder, an indisputable starter under Eric Roy, it is OM that makes him dream. It must be said that the first scorer in the history of Brest in the Champions League against Sturm Graz in September (2-1) was trained in Marseille between 2004 and 2007. Despite everything, the Marseille kid is not yet thinking of achieving his dreams of playing at the Vélodrome.
“I don’t close the doors to anything at all”
“Since I was little, I have been an OM fan. I don't forbid myself anything. I don't close the doors to anything at all. But today, frankly, it would be crazy to think of anything other than Stade Brestois for my part. I currently eat and live at Stade Brestois. It will stay that way for now. Three-game weeks are intense, but I've been dreaming of this since I was little. I'm not going to complain about it. Even if sometimes we are tired, it’s so much fun to play these matches”launched Magnetti on RMC. Under contract with Stade Brestois until 2027, the midfielder was upgraded at the start of the year for his good performances in recent months. But at the end of the season, and if Brest falls back into the anonymity of L1, it will undoubtedly be time for him to target a club of another caliber, like OM. It remains to be seen whether Pablo Longoria's club will be interested in Magnetti's profile, knowing that Marseille already has great midfielders like Rabiot, Hojbjerg or Kondogbia.
