Interest from Torino and Eintracht

The Deportivo is pursuing a left-centerback, targeting Frenchman Lilian Brassier of Stade Rennais. The 26-year-old, contracted until June 30, 2029, is open to a transfer. According to Galician press, Torino and Eintracht Frankfurt have shown interest, with potential offers to his club.

Valuation and financial situation

Brassier is valued around 12 million euros, but the Deportivo, after a major summer spending spree, hasn't reached those figures. However, time may favor the club to explore other transfer options. Stade Rennais has already parted ways with Jérémy Jacquet and Leo Østigård, reflecting a rotation policy in their defense.

Other options for the defense

Besides Brassier, the Deportivo is evaluating Nathán Zézé of Neom SC and Juan Jesus, free-agent after his exit from Napoli. The Brazilian, with experience at Inter and Roma, has received offers from transalpine clubs, including Venezia and Udinese.
