Stade Brestois anticipates the departure of goalkeeper Marco Bizot (34) this summer. Bizot has been recognized as one of Ligue 1`s top shot-stoppers in recent seasons, but with only a year left on his contract, he is among several players expected to exit the club during what promises to be a busy transfer window for the `Les Ty-Zéfs`.
Given Brest`s limited financial resources, funds for replacing outgoing players are constrained. This makes the prospect of signing a free agent like Anthony Lopes (34) appealing as a potential successor to Bizot. The Portuguese keeper had a positive impact after joining FC Nantes on a short-term basis from Olympique Lyonnais in January.
According to a report from Foot Mercato, Brest is showing interest in acquiring Lopes on a free transfer. Although Nantes (`Les Canaris`), where Lopes played a key role in helping them secure their Ligue 1 status, might want to keep him, Brest is reportedly giving serious consideration to making an approach.
