Brest Leads Chase for Midfielder Seeking Regular Play

Moroccan international midfielder Amir Richardson has become a primary transfer target for French club Stade Brestois as the winter window opens. Richardson, currently with ACF Fiorentina, has struggled for playing time since his €4.5 million transfer in August 2024, appearing in only four matches. With a contract extending until June 2029, a loan move is being prioritized to help the 23-year-old regain form and momentum.

Journalist Fabrice Hawkins reports that Stade Brestois has initiated direct negotiations with Richardson's representatives regarding a loan agreement. This move comes as other potential suitors, including OGC Nice and Olympique de Marseille, have reportedly scaled back their interest or ruled out a transfer. Africafoot exclusively reported Marseille's move is unlikely, and a winter switch to Nice is also improbable.
