Official | Brest sign Lucas Tousart from Union Berlin

Brest have signed Union Berlin midfielder Lucas Tousart (28), both clubs have announced. The 28-year-old midfielder is back in Ligue 1 five years after leaving Lyon for Hertha Berlin in a €25m move. The former France youth international had entered the final months of the three-year Union Berlin contract he signed in 2023. Tousart has penned a two-year deal with Brest. 

Tousart will wear the No. 24 jersey with Eric Roy’s Ty-Zeffs. Brest were looking to add muscle and experience in their midfield after parting ways with Mahdi Camara, who joined Brittany rivals Rennes in a €8m move, and Pierre-Lees Melou, who signed for Paris FC. Les Ty-Zeffs already secured the loan signing of Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe from Eintracht Frankfurt, but they are set to welcome another Bundesliga midfielder in Tousart. Brest have drawn one and lost two of their three Ligue 1 games so far this season.
