Nantes and Brest target AS Monaco attacking midfielder Lucas Michal

According to our information, anxious to leave his training club to play more, blocked by competition at ASM, Lucas Michal is at the heart of a match between Brest and Nantes.

Monaco reportedly rejected the loan with an option to buy offered by the Canaries for the 20-year-old attacking midfielder, but the path leading to Loire-Atlantique has not yet been closed.

For its part, Brest would like to buy the player under contract until 2029 and extended last February.

ASM could be tempted to keep him with a view to the Champions League. It will have to communicate a list of up to 25 players to UEFA before Tuesday, September 2.

A list which must include at least two goalkeepers and eight players trained in France.
