Stade Brestois are being linked with a move for Clermont Foot defender Andy Pelmard in a deal that could see the €2.00m-rated centre-back return to Ligue 1.

Reports from Transfermarkt’s rumour listings on 18 April 2026 place Brest as potential suitors for the 26-year-old, with the probability of the move currently marked as “?”. The speculation also comes amid uncertainty over Pelmard’s contractual situation, with no expiry date listed, raising the possibility that he could be available as a free agent if his deal with Clermont has run down.

Pelmard, who plays primarily as a right-footed centre-back, is currently registered with Polish champions Jagiellonia Białystok, where he wears the number 70 shirt, but the latest rumour connects him specifically with a switch from Clermont in Ligue 2 back to the French top flight with Brest. Born in Nice on 12 March 2000 and standing at 1.83m, he holds dual nationality with Madagascar and France.

His market value is listed at €2.00m, a figure that could appeal to Brest as they look for cost-effective reinforcement at the back. Any move would mark another step in a career that has already taken him across different leagues, with experience in France and now in Poland, where he has been part of Jagiellonia’s defensive set‑up.

Recent match data and performance details for Pelmard have not been specified in the current entry, but his profile as a versatile, right-footed central defender with experience in multiple European competitions is expected to draw further interest should Brest advance their interest.

If a deal is pursued and completed, a return to Ligue 1 with Brest could offer Pelmard a platform to re-establish himself at the highest level in French football and enhance both his reputation and market value.
