Lilian Brassier joins Eintracht Frankfurt from Rennes
Eintracht Frankfurt have moved to plug the defensive gap left by Arthur Theate with the signing of Lilian Brassier from Rennes.
Brassier, who will take over Theate’s vacated No. 3 shirt following the Belgian's loan move to Bologna, has signed a five-year deal running until summer 2031.
The 26-year-old made 161 Ligue 1 appearances across spells with Rennes, Marseille and Brest, and is a former France youth international.
"In Lilian Brassier, we have signed a physically strong and fast defender who tackles with great intensity whilst also possessing excellent dynamism," said Frankfurt board memeber for sport Markus Krösche. "We are convinced that Lilian will bring additional stability and quality to our defence and are delighted to welcome him to Eintracht Frankfurt."
Brassier could make his Bundesliga debut when Frankfurt entertain Augsburg in their first home game of the new season on Sunday. The Eagles gave away a 3-1 lead as they drew at Union Berlin on Matchday 1.
