Bologna has renewed its interest in Rennes defender Lilian Brassier, a 26-year-old French centre-back the club is considering as it seeks defensive reinforcements. Contact with the player has resumed in recent hours. This is a renewed effort, following a previous attempt to sign him during his time at Brest, at which point Brassier chose to move to Marseille. The club is currently evaluating if the conditions are suitable to reopen negotiations, as the pursuit of another target, Diego Carlos, has been set aside. Brassier has been capped five times for France U20 and has a contract with Rennes until 2029. His market value is €12.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
