Olympique de Marseille was traveling to Lens this Saturday for the 12th day of Ligue 1. After the sad defeat at the Vélodrome against AJ Auxerre before the international break, the Marseille club recovered its head by imposing on Bollaert (1-3).
For this meeting, OM coach Roberto De Zerbi decided to do without the services of Lilian Brassier. In great difficulty since the start of the season, the former Stade Brestois defender is clearly at rock bottom.
Coming out under the whistles of the Vélodrome during Marseille's defeat against Auxerre (1-3) before the international break, Lilian Brassier was totally overwhelmed. A paradoxical situation considering the beautiful things that show in training. According to La Provence, it would be a big mental problem.
This withdrawal says a lot about the difficulties encountered by Brassier, even if De Zerbi does not intend to let go of his player. Still, the future of Lilian Brassier could quickly lie far from Marseille.
As revealed by Jeunesfooteux a little over two weeks ago, the OM board led by Pablo Longoria and Mehdi Benatia is seriously considering parting ways with Lilian Brassier in January. The problem is that he is on loan with an almost obligatory purchase option of 11 million euros, which will only be paid at the end of the season.
Olympique de Marseille is therefore seriously considering lifting the OA from January, in order to loan Lilian Brassier during the next transfer window. The OM board could therefore quickly contact Stade Brestois to find an agreement. But what agreement? This could be a deferred payment.
The future of Lilian Brassier is becoming more and more dotted with Marseille.
