According to Gianluca Di Marzio, AC Milan are considering a move for highly-coveted Stade Brestois centre-back Lilian Brassier (24).
Brassier is one of the most coveted assets in Ligue 1 this January. As reported by Foot Mercato, AS Monaco and Porto are both interested in the Frenchman, who has been a pillar of Brest’s start-of-season success. Brassier is under contract with Brest until the summer of 2025, however, it is looking increasingly unlikely that he will see that contract out.
Monaco determined in Brassier pursuit
AC Milan are in the market for defensive reinforcements this January, and it seems their shortlist is not dissimilar to that created by Monaco. Like the Principality club, AC Milan are also interested in Brassier, as well as West Ham United’s Thilo Kehrer.
However, according to Foot Mercato, Monaco remain in pole position to sign Brassier, with Ouest-France adding that the Principality club are determined to complete the signing. Brest are asking for around €10m for Brassier.
