Brest sign Giovani Versini from Pau on a four-year deal

Brest have moved to bolster their attacking build-up with a new creator from the left. As L'Équipe reports, the club confirmed this Wednesday the signing of Giovani Versini (22), arriving from Pau on a four-year contract.

The timing matters: it comes after Romain Del Castillo left for Osasuna. In the transfer’s wake, Versini will wear the No. 10 shirt that Del Castillo had vacated.

Rising through the ranks

Versini’s path has been fast. Before his breakthrough, he played in the National 3 and National 2 tiers, before exploding at Châteauroux in 2024-2025 (then National, now Ligue 3), posting 5 goals and 9 assists.

What he delivered at Pau

Once he joined Pau last summer, the winger’s output helped put him on Brest’s radar. The article notes that in Ligue 2 he recorded 9 goals and 4 assists, earned a place in the UNFP Trophies team of the season, and also collected his first appearances for the France U21s with two caps during the most recent campaign.

Versini is set to meet his new teammates from tomorrow at training, according to L'Équipe.
