Mercato Stade Rennais: Lilian Brassier at Stade Rennais this winter?
Things are moving at Stade Rennais during this winter transfer window. There is already movement in the direction of arrivals. SRFC leaders have already completed the signing of Ivorian midfielder Seko Fofana. The residents of Roazhon Park smell another avenue in Ligue 1 to strengthen the defensive sector of the Breton club.
According to information from The TeamStade Rennais would be keen on the young French defender of OM, Lilian Brassier. The latter signed with Olympique de Marseille during the last summer transfer window from Stade Brestois in the form of a loan with an option to buy, but he failed to convince Roberto De Zerbi and would be on the list of potential departures this winter.
Since the start of the season, Lilian Brassier has made only 10 appearances with OM. According to The Teamthe Marseille leaders have decided to part ways with the central defender this winter. A definitive transfer is preferred, but the Marseille club will first have to exercise the compulsory purchase option, estimated at nearly 11 million euros, linked to its loan from Brest.
Stade Rennais would be ready to welcome Lilian Brassier and revive it. If the negotiations are successful, the former Brest player will play under the orders of Jorge Sampaoli for the rest of the season. According to the specialized site Transfer marketthe player's market value is estimated at 10 million euros. Other Ligue 1 teams such as RC Lens, OGC Nice and FC Nantes are also closely monitoring Lilian Brassier's situation.
