Maxime Busi, 25, the Belgian right-back from Stade de Reims, will finish the season in the Eredivisie as part of a six-month loan without a purchase option.
The deal between the French Ligue 1 club and NAC Breda is already concluded.
Deprived of playing time by Luka Elsner (ex-Union Saint-Gilloise, KV Kortrijk and Standard) since the start of the season, Busi has not played in Ligue 1 since May 15 against Olympique de Marseille (1-0 , an own goal from former Anderlecht player Chancel Mbemba).
Trained at Ivoz-Ramet, at Standard and at Saint-Trond, the former U21 international (4 caps) will now move away from the Auguste-Delaune stadium for a while, and join the Stade Rat Verlegh.
He will be involved in the coming hours with NAC Breda, promoted to the Eredivisie this season.
NAC Breda not concerned by the fight for maintenance
It was coach Carl Hoefkens (ex-Club Bruges and Standard), 46 years old, on the verge of brilliantly carrying out the maintenance operation, who insisted on his management to obtain the services of the Liégeois.
NAC Breda occupies tenth place in the ranking, far above the zone of turbulence, despite the defeats conceded against AZ Alkmaar (1-2) and Go Ahead Eagles Deventer (2-1), during the two most recent days.
Busi started among the pros in 2019-2020 at Sporting de Charleroi (43 matches, 1 assist), before being transferred to Parma (32 matches, 2 assists) for nearly 7 million euros in 2020.
He has played a total of 49 matches in the Reims jersey, scoring a goal against Rennes (2-3) in April 2022, and providing two assists.
First match Tuesday against Servette Genève
He should have his medical examination this Friday during the day, then join his future teammates on training in Spain, and more precisely in Campoamor, near Alicante.
On Tuesday, NAC Breda will play a training match against Servette Genève.
The opponent for the resumption of the Eredivisie is SC Heerenveen, on Sunday January 12 (4:45 p.m.) in Breda.
