Arriving this summer at Olympique de Marseille from Brest, Lilian Brassier is struggling to establish himself in Roberto De Zerbi's squad. Despite a complicated start, the 24-year-old central defender remains highly rated on the transfer market, attracting the interest of several clubs in France and abroad as the winter transfer window approaches.
A mixed start to the season
With 11 appearances in all competitions, Lilian Brassier has not yet managed to fully adapt to the tactical demands of OM, particularly in the demanding playing system put in place by her coach. However, his physical qualities and his left-handed profile, rare on the market, continue to attract the attention of recruiters.
A well-stocked list of contenders
According to Foot Mercato, several clubs are closely monitoring the defender's situation. In Ligue 1, OGC Nice would be interested, although its financial resources remain limited, while another French club, whose identity remains unknown, would also be in the running. Internationally, Leicester City, Villarreal and Wolfsburg are among the teams ready to take action to strengthen their defensive sector.
What decision for OM?
Despite his potential, Brassier could be pushed out this winter if tempting offers arrive on the desks of Marseille leaders. OM, which is seeking to strengthen other sectors of its workforce, could see a sale as an interesting financial opportunity.
