This is the outcome of a case that kept the beginning of OM’s transfer window in suspense. But, like the search for its new coach, “patience” is the key word that marks the month of June on the Canebière. While Roberto De Zerbi landed yesterday in Provence, his priority in defense will quickly follow suit. After several days of negotiations, Olympique de Marseille and Stade Brestois have finally agreed on the transfer of Lilian Brassier, announces Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Brassier, loaned to OM with mandatory purchase option
The terms of the operation revolve around a loan with a compulsory purchase option of 11 million euros. Already in agreement with the Olympians for several days, Lilian Brassier will sign a five-year contract, until June 2029. Courted in particular in Italy, the central defender has rejected several clubs to evolve under the orders of De Zerbi. The 24-year-old left-hander will be associated with Leonardo Balerdi in the central hinge.
For OM, the news keeps coming. Indeed, after reaching an agreement with Watford for Canadian midfielder Ismaël Koné and now Lilian Brassier in defense, Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia are definitely moving up a gear in this particularly lively transfer window.
