The first part of the season for Brest has not gone unnoticed, and the Breton club is beginning to face “attacks.” They received the offer from Monaco for their left-footed central defender Lilian Brassier. The 24-year-old is under contract with Stade Brestois until June 2025.##NAJAVA_MECA_7759416##This offer comes as discussions had already started to extend his contract with a potential salary increase, but these talks haven’t reached a satisfactory conclusion yet. The player, who was developed at Rennes’ youth academy, has never hidden his ambitions. He had received interest from Bundesliga club Bochum earlier this year.Monaco is seeking to reinforce this position, if possible, during the January transfer window because Mohammed Salisu was injured for most of the season and is at risk of leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations with Ghana. However, Brest firmly believes that letting the player go for $9 million is out of the question. They wouldn’t even consider a discussion below $11 million. Nevertheless, Brest would still like to finish the season with their player even if an offer beyond their valuation were to emerge.AS MONACO MERCATO :Le défenseur Brestois, Lilian Brassier, pilier de la 4e meilleur défense de Ligue 1, plairait énormément à L’AS Monaco qui aurait déjà fait une offre pour renforcer sa défense avec le joueur Français de 24 ans.Scource (@footmercato, @twentydarde ) pic.twitter.com/cmP2BKc2sE— Oscellaris (@Oscellaris_) December 22, 2023 If an offer – regardless of the club – were to be exceptional and irresistible, Brest would then consider Julien Le Cardinal as an option. The promising youngster only joined them on loan from Lens in the last window, but is yet to win a permanent transfer to northwestern France. The familiar merry-go-round is about to start.
