Benfica is one of the clubs said to be interested in signing Stassin, who has been linked to FC Porto and Paris FC in the past. The Portuguese top club has been aware of Stassin's abilities for some time and may see him as a potential option for their attack. VoetbalPrimeur reports that Stassin could be a possible replacement for Franjo Ivanovic, who has recently signed with RC Lens. This could mark the end of Stassin's time at Saint-Étienne, a club that previously resisted offers for the player last summer.
Stassin has made significant progress in France, scoring 23 goals in 61 appearances for Saint-Étienne since joining the club in 2024. He has also provided eight assists in the Ligue 2 last season. The Belgian striker made his first steps in football at Anderlecht and later played for Westerlo before joining Saint-Étienne. His market value is reportedly 15 million euros according to Transfermarkt.
Saint-Étienne's stance on Stassin's potential transfer has changed, with the club now willing to work with another club to facilitate a move. The French club had previously resisted offers for the player, but it seems they are now open to negotiations. The coming days will reveal whether Benfica is indeed the club in talks with Saint-Étienne over Stassin's transfer.
