Lilian Brassier, a prominent centre-back currently playing for Brest in Ligue 1, is on the verge of leaving the club after three successful years. According to reports, Brassier is set to join Marseille, a move that has been well-received by the player himself.
Brassier initially joined Brest from Rennes in the summer of 2021 and has since become a key figure in their defense. He has accumulated an impressive 117 appearances for Brest, with 108 of those coming in Ligue 1 matches. His contributions were instrumental in Brest’s achievement of qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in their history.
The move to Marseille appears to be imminent, with negotiations progressing smoothly between the two clubs. Marseille, under the leadership of new manager Roberto De Zerbi, are keen to finalize the deal swiftly. It’s reported that Brassier is enthusiastic about the prospect of joining Marseille and is poised to sign a lucrative five-year contract with the club.
Despite Marseille finishing outside of European qualification spots last season in eighth place, they are eager to strengthen their squad significantly. Brassier’s arrival would bolster their defensive capabilities and add depth to their roster as they aim to compete at a higher level in the upcoming season.
