Lille in talks to sign Brest’s Bradley Locko | OneFootball

Following the departures of Ismaily and Gabriel Gudmundsson, Lille OSC are in the market for a new left-back this summer. Romain Perraud has been heavily linked with a move to LOSC, however, L’Équipe now understands that they are in talks to sign Stade Brestois’ Bradley Locko (23).

Locko was one of the best left-backs in Ligue 1 during the 2023/24 campaign, however, he missed almost the entirety of the 2024/25 campaign after suffering an ACL injury in pre-season. Prior to that injury, he had been heavily linked with a move away from Brest. Nottingham Forest were notably keen on the France U21 international.

He could be on the move this time around. Whilst Brest are trying to extend his current deal, which expires in 2027, Lille have opened talks with the Breton club. Brest are asking for a fee of around €10m and Locko himself is open to a move to Les Dogues.
