Stade Brestois has been blowing hot and cold since the start of the season. Intractable in the Champions League, and to everyone's surprise, Brest is much less celebrating in Ligue 1. Only 12th in the championship, SB29 is only three points ahead of play-off Saint-Etienne.
A situation which can be explained by a squad rotation that the Brest coach, Eric Roy, is struggling to optimize. It must be said that some players are not at the expected level. We think in particular of Romain Faivre or Kamory Doumbia. Other players have difficulty raising the cursor.
Interesting when he started against Toulouse last September, Luck Zogbé was unable to repeat his good performance. In great difficulty during the defeat against Montpellier HSC before the international break, the young Ivorian right-back still seems too tender to be regular in Ligue 1.
It is therefore in this context that a departure on loan during the next transfer window cannot be ruled out. As a result, Stade Brestois could recruit a player capable of competing with Kenny Lala. According to certain indiscretions, Saël Kumbedi is part of the shortlist of sports director Grégory Lorenzi.
Pushed towards the exit during the last transfer window, Kumbedi, who has played little since the start of the season under the orders of Pierre Sage, is more than ever on the move. A departure all the more likely given the very worrying financial situation of Olympique Lyonnais.
Under contract until 2027 at OL, the French international hopeful right-back is valued at 5 million euros by the Transfermarkt site. After Mama Baldé, will Stade Brestois recruit another Lyon player? To be continued.
