As expected, Brest has signed Massadio Haïdara from Lens.

Massadio Haïdara, the versatile defender of Lens, is set to be released from his contract to join Brest. The Malian international will compete in the second leg of the Conference League playoff against Panathinaikos on Thursday night before making his move to the Breton club. Brest will acquire Haïdara without any transfer fees, as Lens has agreed to release him a year before his contract's end as a gesture of appreciation for his services. He is expected to arrive in Brittany following the trip to Greece, coinciding with the last day of the transfer window.

Massadio Haïdara's arrival at Stade Brestois is imminent.

Massadio Haidara had rejected offers from four clubs, including some in Greece.
