Coulibaly signs for Brest on loan
Today, Coulibaly successfully completed the obligatory medical check in Brittany with the team that finished third in the Ligue 1 table last season.
Borussia Dortmund's sporting director Sebastian Kehl said: "Soumi is a great central defensive talent and has recently taken another real step forward in the Belgian league. He has also developed enormously on a physical level over the course of recent months and now requires regular gametime and rhythm at a high level. In Brest, he will be able to prove himself both in Ligue 1 and on the international stage in the Champions League. We wish Soumi the best-possible development for his loan season and will monitor his performances with interest."
Coulibaly, who has been under contract at BVB since the summer of 2021, made 17 league appearances and played six Champions League matches for Belgian top-flight outfit Royal Antwerp during his loan spell in 2023/24 and returned to Dortmund in the summer.
