Brest has expressed a strong interest in Alban Lafont as they look for a successor to Marco Bizot, who is anticipated to transfer to England amid Aston Villa's interest. Brest is contemplating a loan deal for Lafont, who remains contracted with Nantes until 2027 and ranks among the club's top earners. The club has already reached out to Nantes' management about this potential transfer. Furthermore, Panathinaikos in Greece has also expressed interest in Lafont, intensifying the competition for his transfer. Despite his recent lack of activity in Ligue 1, the goalkeeper, originally from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, is regarded as a valuable player due to his consistent training, which helps him maintain his form.
