Daouda Guindo, a 22-year-old left back from Mali, is reportedly in advanced discussions to join Brest. He had been on trial with Brest during the summer after his departure from RB Salzburg. Guindo, who is versatile enough to play as a left central defender, has represented Mali in 5 international matches. Should the signing be completed, he will join his compatriots Kamory Doumbia and Hamidou Makalou, who were also trained at Guidars. Brest is known for ramping up their transfer activities as the mercato deadline looms, and they are simultaneously working on finalizing the transfer of Joris Chotard from Montpellier. According to Télégramme, the potential signing of Guindo would integrate him into the club's defensive lineup.
