After a mixed season between Ligue 1 and the Champions League, the Brest Stadium is actively preparing its transfer window to strengthen its workforce. Under the direction of Gregory Lorenzithe Breton club is working hard to implement an effective strategy. Significant changes are expected from 2025.
A pragmatic recruitment policy
As usual, the Brest Stadium favors thoughtful recruitment during transfer periods. In the summer of 2024, Gregory Lorenzi focused on technically proficient players while avoiding excessive spending. Rather than investing in expensive stars, the sporting director relied on low-cost loans and transfers.
For example, Abdallah Sima, Ludovic Ajorque and Soumaïla Coulibaly arrived on loan. Julien Le Cardinal, Mama Baldé and Kamory Doumbia joined the club for amounts well below the 10 million euro mark. This financially controlled approach seems to be a trademark of Grégory Lorenzi, who plans to reproduce it during the 2025 winter transfer window.
A left side as a priority
In Ligue 1, the Brest Stadium lack of offensive and defensive inspiration. To energize the team, Éric Roy, coach of the club, would have requested the recruitment of a left back. This recruit would complete the current options made up of Jordan Amavi and Massadio Haïdara. True to his strategy, Lorenzi favors a loan rather than a costly transfer. However, the name of the targeted player remains unknown to this day.
Marco Bizot: a departure in preparation
In anticipation of the summer of 2025, another priority is emerging: management of the goalkeeper position. Marco Bizot, the Dutch goalkeeper, could leave the club after a mixed season. Despite remaining at the last minute during the previous transfer window, his performances were criticized, particularly after an error against FC Barcelona (0-3). At 33, Bizot seems ready to take on a new challenge before ending his career.
