Sporting CP has expressed interest in acquiring Lucas Stassin, who is eager to leave Saint-Etienne in search of a better opportunity. The Belgian striker, currently under contract with Saint-Etienne until 2028, is determined to continue competing at the highest level following the club's relegation to the French second division. Although Saint-Etienne wishes to keep him, Stassin's market value has increased to 18 million euros, and the club is reportedly asking for at least 20 million euros for his transfer. Sporting CP is one of several clubs, including Lille OSC, Olympique Marseille, and RB Leipzig, that have shown interest in the prolific forward, who tallied 12 goals and 5 assists in the French top league last season. Stassin aspires to debut for the Belgian national team and hopes that a successful transfer will enhance his chances of participating in the 2026 World Cup.
