Eintracht Frankfurt Nears Transfer Deal for Lilian Brassier from Rennes
Eintracht Frankfurt and Rennes are currently engaged in advanced negotiations for the transfer of defender Lilian Brassier, 26, from Roazhon Park to Deutsche Bank Park, according to a report by L’Equipe. Brassier finds himself surplus to requirements in coach Franck Haise’s lineup following the recent addition of two center-backs, Charlie Cresswell and Gonçalo Oliveira.
Brassier joined Rennes on loan from Marseille during the winter transfer window of 2025, with an obligation for a permanent transfer. He is contracted with the club until 2029.
Reports indicate that Frankfurt, under the management of former AS Monaco coach Adi Hütter, is nearing a €12 million agreement with Rennes. Previously, AS Roma had shown interest in Brassier, who has been training separately from the squad preparing to take on Ligue 1 champions PSG this Sunday.
