Lucas Stassin is reportedly the subject of strong interest from Hull City. The English club views the 21-year-old Belgian international as a reinforcement for their attack. Benfica is also competing for the player and is said to be closely monitoring the striker's situation as a potential successor to Franjo Ivanović. The interest in Stassin, who has one cap for his country, follows a strong 2025/26 season in Ligue 2, where he scored eleven goals and provided eight assists. His current club is Saint-Étienne, which he joined in August 2024, and his contract runs until June 2028.

Saint-Étienne is reportedly open to a departure, and his market value is estimated at around 15 million euros. While Saint-Étienne appears willing to cooperate with a transfer, the main question is which club will meet the French club's financial expectations. The club acquired the player for a reported €10 million in August 2024 and has previously rejected significant offers. These include a reported €29 million package in September 2025 and offers over €30 million in late 2025, when their asking price was between €35-€42 million.
