Leicester City, after having explored various profiles, are concretely interested in Marseille's Lilian Brassier as a defensive reinforcement under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Lilian Brassier, currently on loan from Brest with a purchase obligation of 11 million euros, is struggling at Olympique de Marseille and is expected to find a new club this winter. Leicester has shown interest in acquiring him. Olympique de Marseille aims to recover the entire amount they invested in Brassier.

Several clubs have shown interest in Lillian Brassier, who joined Marseille from Brest last summer. Despite not having a perfect start, he still has the club's confidence. Interest in him has been shown by Leicester, Villarreal, Wolfsburg, and OGC Nice, with Rennes recently joining the list of potential suitors. Currently, no concrete steps have been taken.

Leicester City is actively looking to bolster its central defense and has identified Lilian Brassier as a priority target. The English club is one of several teams showing interest in the Marseille defender, who is highly valued in the current market for his capabilities as a left-sided central defender. Although Brassier has experienced a mixed start at Marseille, partly due to tactical changes that have posed challenges, he is still considered a valuable player. Leicester's interest is in the face of competition from clubs such as Wolfsburg and Villarreal, along with other Ligue 1 teams, leaving his future uncertain as the winter transfer window approaches.
