Striker Rui Borges wanted at Sporting is on Porto's radar | OneFootball

Lucas Stassin, a forward 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 forward with room for development and characteristics suited to the Arsenalistas' style of play. In that regard, Braga's board has already placed the Belgium international on the list of possible signings for next season.

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

Having come through the youth ranks at Anderlecht and also spent time at Westerlo, the striker 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 France’s second division, Lucas Stassin - valued at €15 million - made 35 appearances for les verts. In total, over the 2,597 minutes he spent on the pitch, the forward scored 11 goals and provided seven assists.
