Rennes' sporting director dreams of acquiring Lucas Stassin, but AS Saint-Etienne's firm stance is forcing them to consider different player profiles.
Lucas Stassin, a 20-year-old forward from AS Saint-Etienne, has received an offer from Stade Rennais. The offer was worth 17 million euros, including 2 million euros in bonuses, but was rejected by the AS Saint-Etienne board.

Stassin has expressed interest in the Breton project and is determined to join.

Lucas Stassin is the priority for Stade Rennais for a last-minute top transfer. He is currently under contract with Saint-Etienne until 2028 and has a market value of 18 million euros. Stade Rennais is in advanced discussions with Saint-Etienne for a late transfer of the young Belgian international. Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Stade Rennais is moving decisively on this transfer, with discussions expected to continue in the coming hours. Tavolieri anticipates a definitive decision on the transfer soon.
Stade Rennais is interested in Lucas Stassin, a young Belgian forward from Saint-Étienne, as a backup plan if the Conrad Harder deal fails. Saint-Étienne is expecting a substantial offer to release the player, while Rennes does not want to exceed 15 million euros. Negotiations need to happen quickly to secure this option before the transfer window closes.
Several clubs have shown initial interest in Lucas Stassin, including Rennes, but they have not advanced significantly beyond initial inquiries. Despite AS Saint-Étienne's relegation to Ligue 2, the club is reluctant to sell Stassin easily, having informed interested parties that a significant offer would be necessary. Among the French clubs, Lille, the Paris FC, Rennes, and Marseille have made initial inquiries, but none have accelerated their efforts. Meanwhile, West Ham in the Premier League has taken more concrete steps in the transfer discussions.
