Lazio, a Serie A club, seeks a new striker during the winter transfer window following Valentin Castellanos's departure to West Ham and has shown interest in Lucas Stassin, a 21-year-old Belgian centre-forward. Stassin, who was named Young Player of the Year in Ligue 1, is on the club's list and has 4 goals and 3 assists in 14 Ligue 2 appearances this season. A potential deal is complicated by uncertainty over whether Lazio can meet the demands of Saint-Etienne, which asked for 42 million euros for the player last summer. There are currently no indications that the French club will significantly reduce its asking price. Paris FC has also been linked with Stassin, and a reported €29 million package from the club was rejected at the end of the summer transfer window. The Belgium U21 international joined his current club for a reported €10 million in August 2024 and has a current market value of €15.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
