Brest has shown interest in acquiring Ricardo Velho, a 26-year-old Portuguese goalkeeper who is currently contracted with Farense until 2028. Farense, which has been relegated to the Second Division, is asking for 5 million EUR for his transfer. Velho was unable to play at the end of the season due to a knee injury. Additionally, both Lille and Celta Vigo have expressed interest in Velho. According to Foot Mercato, Velho, who received his first call-up for the Seleção in October last year, was recognized as the best goalkeeper of the 2023-2024 season in the Portuguese Championship. With interest from Lille and Celta Vigo, Brest faces significant competition in their pursuit of Velho. Velho, who joined Farense on a free transfer in 2020, currently has a market value estimated at €4.00m by Transfermarkt.
