Saint-Étienne is reportedly willing to allow Lucas Stassin to leave, which is a change from last summer when the club rejected all offers, including one from Paris FC. The French club is currently in discussions with a club to complete the 21-year-old's transfer. While the identity of the interested club has not been officially confirmed, it is suggested that it could be Benfica Lisbon. The Portuguese team has maintained a long-term interest in the young Belgian international and is currently seeking a replacement for Franjo Ivanovic, who is anticipated to sign with RC Lens. The centre-forward, who has one cap for Belgium, joined Saint-Étienne in August 2024 and has a contract until 2028. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €15.00m. Other clubs such as Galatasaray and Brentford have also been associated with an interest in him.
