Epilogue of an unforgettable match in every way, Lilian Brassier's headed goal, scored at the end of added time (90' + 6) on April 28, 2024 at Roazhon Park, will forever retain a flavor like no other . While the two teams will meet again, this Saturday, and beyond the revenge taken that day by the Brest defender on his training club, who had not considered it useful to keep him, this achievement had confirmed the presence of Brest in the European Cup the following season.
For the first time in the history of a club which was going to push the anomaly, a few weeks later, to the Champions League. Conversely, in this footballing version of David against Goliath, the fate of this meeting had severely damaged the European ambitions of Stade Rennais. A match at a crossroads, in short.
Not transferable before January 26
Eager to try the adventure in a club which should allow him to continue to grow, and benefiting from an exit voucher at Brest where we were counting on his market value, the solid central defender (1.86 m, 25 years old ) opted for Marseille, and its ruthless universe. A loan which, however, will not have allowed Brassier to win, he no longer being part of De Zerbi's plans since the disaster against Auxerre (1-3), on November 11.
-So much so that the Marseille management now wants to exercise its purchase option (valued at around 12 million euros) from January, in order to resell it immediately. If his profile interests several clubs, starting with… Stade Rennais according to numerous sources, his transfer cannot take place before January 26. Indeed, according to our information, the exercise of the purchase option can only take place on the evening of the 2nd match of the return phase of the championship. Marseille leaders would then have until February 3, at 11 p.m., the closing date of the winter transfer window, to find him a new base.
