It's a bit of a new life that awaits Alban Lafont. After six seasons spent on the banks of the Erdre, the 26 -year -old porter is preparing to start a new chapter in his career. The last was not really exciting. Winner of the French Cup under the colors of Nantes in 2022, then called for the one and only time in Blues a few months later (in September, to replace Lloris), Lafont had then experienced a more painful parenthesis last season.
Decision and more summoned by Antoine Kombouaré from November because of his performances, the goalkeeper trained in Toulouse had made the choice to evolve with the reserve team, rather than stay at his home on weekends. He had even played in April a National 3 match against Sablé-sur-Sarthe, won widely by his team (4-1). “I want to continue to keep rhythm, I feel good, it also pleases me to be with young people and the coach to play the title. My situation? Everyone has seen her, she's what she is, I don't let go. I'm ready and we're going to prepare this summer quietly ”he had then indicated.
Brest ready to relaunch Lafont
A priori, its inactivity (in Ligue 1) should not make it an indested element this summer. At the end of April, he had returned to the Kombouaré group to replace Anthony Lopes, without playing. He was still able to keep the pace by participating in the training sessions of an L1 group … before perhaps discovering a new one? According to Ouest-Francethe Lafont dossier could indeed decant fairly quickly.
This Friday, the daily informs us of the concrete interest of Brest for the native of Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso). While Marco Bizot is expected to take the direction of England, where Aston Villa ardently courts him, the pirates would have identified Lafont as the potential successor of Dutch. The idea of the Finistère club would rather be to have the Nantes lent, under contract until 2027 with the Canaries (it touched one of the three largest wages of the club). Brest would have already surveyed Nantes management, just like Panathinaikos in Greece. Case to follow.
