At the beginning of May, 26-year-old French defender Lilian Brassier reportedly had the possibility of joining a more prestigious club abroad. However, that club has since changed its sporting management, which cancelled that possibility. Brassier joined his current club, Stade Rennais FC, in July 2025, and his contract is valid until June 2029. During the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season, he made 27 appearances and provided one assist. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €12.00m.
