Stade Brestois 29 will have to end the season without its attacking leader. Both top scorer (8 goals) and best passer (6) of his team, Romain Faivre signed this Sunday a 4 and a half year contract with Olympique Lyonnais.
The transfer should bring in the Breton club 16 million euros according to our colleagues from the team, plus 2 million in bonuses. A windfall that cannot be refused as the health crisis has dried up the Brest cash flow.
A technical and ambitious player
Arrived at the tip of Brittany in the summer of 2020 from AS Monaco for 400,000 euros, the attacking midfielder quickly revealed himself by his technical ease and his precision. The left-hander is one of the craftsmen of the maintenance Ty Zefs last season. But Faivre quickly wishes from elsewhere : at 23 he does not hide his ambition to evolve in a big club.
Last summer, the native of Asnières-sur-Seine was also coveted by AC Milan, but the two clubs could not reach an agreement. This transfer to OL is a real opportunity for a player who dreams of the France teamhe who has 8 selections with the Espoirs (2 goals).
