According to a report from L’Équipe, Paris FC has made a significant offer of €29 million, including bonuses, for 20-year-old AS Saint-Étienne forward Lucas Stassin. Although Saint-Étienne had previously stated their unwillingness to sell the Belgian this summer, this late bid, submitted on transfer deadline day, could potentially change their minds.
The Parisian club has been actively seeking attacking reinforcements in recent weeks. Their pursuit of Matthis Abline from FC Nantes proved unsuccessful, as Les Canaris held firm on a hefty €40 million valuation, even rejecting a €30 million bid from Wolverhampton Wanderers. While Willem Geubbels has already arrived at Paris FC, the club is clearly looking for further depth upfront.
Lucas Stassin, for his part, has reportedly expressed a desire to leave his current club to avoid playing the upcoming season in Ligue 2. However, Saint-Étienne, backed by wealthy owners, has shown reluctance to part with their promising player. It remains uncertain whether Paris FC`s substantial last-minute offer will be enough to persuade them to sell Stassin and facilitate his move to the capital club.
