Striker Rui Borges wanted at Sporting eyed by Porto | OneFootball

Lucas Stassin, a striker for Saint-Étienne, has been linked with a possible move to Portugal in this summer transfer window. Porto and Braga have identified the player, who was previously linked with Sporting as a target to strengthen their attack.

The 21-year-old fits the profile sought by Carlos Vicens, who is looking for a striker with room for development and characteristics suited to the Arsenalistas’ style of play. In that regard, Braga’s SAD has already placed the Belgian international on its list of possible signings for next season.

Despite the interest shown, the market remains open and the striker’s future will also depend on his personal ambitions and on the offers that arrive for the French club. The player wants to make the step up to a higher competitive level.

Having come through the ranks at Anderlecht and also spent time at Westerlo, the centre-forward moved to French football in 2024, where he has been making a name for himself. Over the last two seasons, he has been one of Saint-Étienne’s main figures, with the club playing in the second tier.

This season, in the French second division, Lucas Stassin - valued at €15 million - made 35 appearances for les verts. In total, across the 2,597 minutes he was on the pitch, the striker scored 11 goals and provided seven assists.
