Glorioso 1904 exclusive: Benfica decide on Lucas Stassin deal | OneFootball

Lucas Stassin is not a Benfica target. Glorioso 1904 knows exclusively that the Belgian forward is not in the plans of the Eagles’ hierarchy to strengthen the attack in this transfer window, despite the rumors linking the Saint-Étienne player to the Lisbon club.

According to what our newspaper has learned, Stassin’s name is not currently among Benfica’s concrete options. There has been no bid submitted by the Eagles for the forward, nor are there any ongoing negotiations regarding a possible transfer.

The 21-year-old striker was recently linked with Benfica again by foreign media, after Franjo Ivanovic’s departure to Lens. The Belgian was mentioned as a possible successor to the Croatia international, but Benfica’s hierarchy has other ideas for the makeup of Marco Silva’s attack.

It should be remembered that Lucas Stassin was in fact monitored by Benfica in the past. A few days ago, reports emerged that the Saint-Étienne striker was a name on the radar of the Rui Costa-led hierarchy, at a time when the Eagles were looking for an alternative to Vangelis Pavlidis.

However, the current situation is different. Although he remains a player valued on the market and has posted interesting numbers for Saint-Étienne, Stassin is not seen as a priority by Benfica at this stage. Thus, the rumors placing the Belgium international at the Estádio da Luz do not correspond to any concrete move by the Eagles. Lucas Stassin is not a Benfica target and, for now, there is no operation underway for the forward.
