Glorioso 1904 exclusive - Benfica make final call on Lucas Stassin | OneFootball

Lucas Stassin is not a Benfica target. Glorioso 1904 knows, exclusively, that the Belgian striker is not in the plans of the Reds’ hierarchy to strengthen the attack in this transfer window, despite the rumours 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 offer made by the Eagles for the striker, 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 move to Lens. The Belgian was named as a possible successor to the Croatian international, but the Reds’ hierarchy have other ideas for the make-up 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, the information that the Saint-Étienne striker was a name on the radar of the Rui Costa-led hierarchy was made public, at a time when the Eagles were looking for an alternative to Vangelis Pavlidis.

However, the current situation is different. Although he remains a highly rated player 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 rumours placing the Belgian international at Benfica 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 striker.
