Lorenzi affirms his desire to make 31-year-old French Centre-Back Brendan Chardonnet the most significant player in the history of Stade Brestois. Lorenzi stated that he is ready to support Chardonnet, that the player has one year left, and that they are already having discussions for a possible contract extension and something else afterwards. However, the player's entourage explained that while certain things have been mentioned, absolutely nothing has been formalized. The entourage added that if the club comes back to them there will be reason to consider it, but that is not the case at present. Chardonnet joined the club in July 2013 and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €5.00m. In the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season, he has made 25 appearances and provided 4 assists.
