Benfica not targeting Lucas Stassin despite transfer rumours | OneFootball

Benfica are not pursuing Lucas Stassin in this window, despite renewed reports linking the Saint-Étienne striker. According to Glorioso 1904, the 21-year-old is not part of the club's attacking plans.

There is no offer on the table and no negotiations under way for the Belgian forward. Stassin does not feature among Benfica's concrete options at present.

Foreign outlets recently connected him to a move following Franjo Ivanovic's switch to Lens. He was touted as a possible successor, but Benfica are pursuing different ideas for Marco Silva's forward line.

Stassin had been monitored in the past and was referenced only days ago while the club weighed alternatives to Vangelis Pavlidis. That consideration has not progressed into concrete action.

The current picture is different, he remains well regarded and has posted promising figures for Saint-Étienne, yet he is not a priority. As it stands, the rumours do not correspond to any active move from Benfica.
