Sporting wanted Lucas Stassin... but he may join a Portuguese rival | OneFootball

Lucas Stassin is once again being linked with Portuguese football, this time with Benfica mentioned as a possible destination. The Eagles are reportedly involved in negotiations with Saint-Étienne, the club managed by Ian Cathro, and have even been identified as the potential buyer of the Belgian forward.

According to Foot Mercato, Benfica’s entry into the talks could play an important role in unlocking the transfer. Saint-Étienne are open to negotiating the Belgian international’s sale, and the Eagles are now emerging as the club that could make a move to secure the attacker’s signing.

The player is currently one of the most valuable assets in the squad competing in Ligue 2. The forward has established himself as one of the main attacking references of the French team and ended last season with impressive numbers.

In 35 matches played last season, Lucas Stassin — valued at €15 million — scored 11 goals and provided seven assists, figures that help explain the interest he continues to attract. The forward therefore still has several clubs monitoring his situation.
