Deal done! Forward linked with Benfica joins Sevilla on loan | OneFootball

Belgian forward Lucas Stassin is set to join Sevilla to take on a new professional challenge in Spanish football. The 21-year-old player is travelling to Andalusia to undergo medical tests and sign a loan deal with the La Liga club, with the Spaniards holding an option to buy at the end of the contract, according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri.

The striker, who is under contract with Saint-Étienne, had been linked with Benfica. The Belgian player was mentioned as a possible alternative for Benfica’s attack, particularly following the moves recorded in the international transfer market over the course of this summer.

However, the young forward was not in Benfica’s plans. The board led by Rui Costa did not submit any formal offer to the French club, with no negotiations or concrete steps taken to secure the footballer for the first-team squad.

Although he had been monitored by the Eagles in the past as a possible alternative to Vangelis Pavlidis, the current situation is completely different. Benfica’s football structure has other priorities in mind for shaping the attacking department, ruling out the arrival of the Belgian international to the Eagles’ squad at this time.

With no deal underway on the part of the Club of Light, Lucas Stassin’s future now lies definitively in the Spanish league. The footballer is preparing to join the Andalusian side on loan, thus bringing to an end all the speculation linking him with a possible move to Portugal.
