Marco Bizot is in advanced discussions with Aston Villa to leave Brest with less than a year remaining on his contract. A significantly higher salary awaits him in England, although he is not expected to be the first-choice goalkeeper behind Emiliano Martinez.

Aston Villa has expressed interest in acquiring Marco Bizot, the goalkeeper from Brest. The Birmingham club has intensified its efforts recently, and negotiations with the Breton club are in progress, with an outcome expected soon. While the details of the transfer conditions have not been revealed, Bizot might not be the first-choice goalkeeper at Aston Villa as Emiliano Martinez is under contract until 2029. However, Bizot could be offered an attractive contract. Despite interest from another English club, Leeds, and some appeal in Saudi Arabia, Aston Villa remains the frontrunner for the Dutch goalkeeper. To avoid any risk of injury, it is probable that Bizot, who is under contract with Brest until 2026, will not take part in the friendly match against Concarneau (National) on Friday.
