The transfer from Marco Bizot to Stade Brest is in jugs and pitchers, reports The Telegraph Monday night. The thirty-year-old final item passed the medical examination ‘whistling’ on Monday and will sign a three-year contract on Tuesday. The newspaper writes that AZ has a transfer fee of five million euros left over to Bizot, who was still in Alkmaar until the summer of 2022.
There was initially a four-year contract ready for Bizot, but both parties eventually reached an agreement on a three-year contract. It General Newspaper already reported on Saturday evening that the transfer from Bizot to Stade Brest was imminent. Bizot arrived in France on Sunday, passed the medical examination on Monday and will be presented at his new club on Tuesday. After Calvin Stengs (OGC Nice) and Myron Boadu (AS Monaco), Bizot is the third basic player to leave AZ behind.
Bizot played the last four seasons at AZ and wanted to leave the club this summer. Given his contract expiring next year, the North Hollanders wanted to cooperate in a transfer of their first goalkeeper. Bizot was already not in the match selection for the exhibition game against Real Sociedad (1-0 win) on Saturday and was replaced by Hobie Verhulst. AZ wants to bring in Maduka Okoye from Sparta Rotterdam as the successor to Bizot.
At Stade Brest, Bizot ends up in the lower regions of the Ligue 1. The club barely managed to maintain itself in seventeenth place at the highest French level last season. In total, Bizot stranded on 164 official matches for AZ, in which he managed to keep a clean sheet 72 times. The experienced goalkeeper was allowed to go with the the Dutch to the European Championship after Jasper Cillessen’s corona infection, but did not play there. He played once for the Dutch national team in November last year, in the friendly against Spain (1-1).
