France U20 international Djylian N'Guessan will become a Liverpool player when the winter window opens, following his move to the club in January. He will remain with Stade Brestois for the 2026/27 campaign. Liverpool FC stated that the 18-year-old will spend the rest of the 2026-27 season on loan at the Ligue 1 side.

This Is Anfield editor Jack Lusby stated that Djylian N’Guessan could remain on loan at Brest for the entire campaign. Lusby added that any decision on N’Guessan’s loan could be affected by decisions regarding Ifeanyi Ndukwe at Levante and Lucca Brughmans at Genk, since Liverpool currently has its maximum of six overseas loans. If any of those loans are terminated early, N’Guessan could stay at Brest. This possibility also depends on his game time at Brest.

L'Équipe reports that Djylian N'Guessan's loan to Brest from Saint-Étienne does not have a purchase option. The loan had been anticipated since Tuesday and was supposed to occur after the player's transfer to Liverpool. A statement from Saint-Étienne indicated that N'Guessan has extended his contract with the club until 2028.

Attacker Djylian N’Guessan, an 18-year-old of French and Ivorian nationality, has left AS Saint-Etienne to join Brest on loan for the 2026-2027 season, a move that was confirmed on a Thursday. This loan was arranged although an expected transfer to Liverpool for the player has not been finalized. The move will allow the French youth international, who has seven caps for the France U20 team, to gain playing time in Ligue 1 before a potential move to the Reds. His contract at Saint-Etienne is valid until June 2027, and his current market value is €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt. It was reported in August 2026 that Liverpool had agreed to a transfer fee of approximately €5 million for the player. Previously, in December 2025, reports claimed that an €8 million offer from Chelsea had been rejected. Saint-Étienne's asking price at that time was €12.5 million.
