Lilian Brassier sent back to Brest, OM hits hard

OM thought they had achieved a nice coup on the transfer market by securing the services of Lilian Brassier. But for the moment, the adventure of the former rock of Stade Brestois is turning sour in .

One of the best central defenders in Ligue 1 last season, Lilian Brassier is having a perilous start to his adventure at Olympique de Marseille. Although a starter at the start of the season alongside Leonardo Balerdi, the native of quickly lost his place in the eyes of Roberto De Zerbi, who now prefers Derek Cornelius or Geoffrey Kondogbia. Before the last international break, the Italian coach still tried to revive his 1m86 French defender, but his performance against AJ came close to disaster. At fault on the first Burgundian goal, Lilian Brassier missed everything and the sanction fell this weekend since Roberto De Zerbi did not keep him in the group for the trip to .

OM would like to break the loan of Lilian Brassier

A strong choice on the part of the ex-Brighton coach, who no longer seems to have confidence in the former defender to such an extent that a departure in the winter transfer window is being considered. And according to information from the Jeunes Footeux site, a totally unexpected deal could see the light of day. The media recalls that Lilian Brassier is only on loan from Brest to OM and that her transfer will be final at the end of the season when Pablo Longoria's club will have paid the automatic purchase option set at 11 million euros. But given the player's disastrous start to his adventure, Marseille would like to send Lilian Brassier back to Brest in order to save a few million euros.

Of course, OM will not get away with paying nothing but the Olympian leaders would like to find an agreement with the Breton club to limit the damage. A huge turnaround for the future of Lilian Brassier, who did not expect such a fiasco when she set down her bags in Provence. It remains to be seen whether Brest will agree to bring back the former defender. We can doubt it because even if Brassier left good memories in Francis-le-Blé, the Breton staff recorded in its financial projections an inflow of money estimated at 11 million euros thanks to the departure of the ex-international French hopefuls. Marseille therefore risks having to find another solution if it absolutely wants to part ways with Lilian Brassier in January.
