Because of a more than delicate first six months, Lilian Brassier was pushed out by the management of Olympique de Marseille. To three clubs already interested in his profile is added an Italian team.
Lilian Brassier's situation at Olympique de Marseille is particularly precarious. Loaned with an option to purchase by Stade Brestois, the French central defender is not having a great adventure at Canebière. Since his arrival in the Marseille city, the native of Argenteuil has played 10 championship matches for 629 minutes played. That's a little over an hour per participation. All this playing time gleaned no longer allows him, today, to be part of Roberto De Zerbi's plans. The Italian technician has also made a radical decision: Brassier has only played one minute in all competitions since November 8 and yet another missed match (against Auxerre). Strongly pushed out to alleviate finances and rebalance the balance after the arrival of Luiz Felipe, the Olympian defender has several exit doors opening before him.
Lilian Brassier has 4 clubs at her bedside
According to information cross-checked from La Provence and TuttoMercatoWeb, four clubs have expressed their interest in recruiting Lilian Brassier. The French regional daily gives the names of Stade Rennais, Stuttgart and Villarreal, while the Italian media adds that of Bologna, which is seeking to find a potential replacement for Martin Erlic.
-Olympique de Marseille, however, knows that it will not necessarily be easy to sell it. Arriving in the form of a loan, Lilian Brassier will first have to be permanently transferred to OM to be able to leave straight away. If the purchase option is estimated at 12 million euros according to L'Equipe, the Marseille management will certainly try to renegotiate it with Brest to avoid a loss in value on a player who largely disappointed during the first half of the season.
