The Atlético de Madrid market has shown interest in Lucas Stassin, a 21-year-old Belgian forward from Saint-Étienne, and is preparing a meeting with his agent in Madrid in the coming days to advance in a possible signing. The French club has set the transfer price between 20 and 25 million euros.

Atlético de Madrid sets the price for Lucas Stassin

Atlético de Madrid is in talks to understand the conditions of an operation that could bring Stassin to Spanish football this summer. According to information provided by Solo Fichajes, the forward is one of the options the red and white entity is considering to reinforce its attack.

Saint-Étienne has a contract with Stassin until 2028, a deal that allows them to maintain a firm position in any negotiation. The French club already rejected offers above 20 million euros during the last transfer window, as reported by L'Équipe.

The player's situation has also changed from the past season. Stassin played 35 games, scored 11 goals, and provided 6 assists with Saint-Étienne during the 2025/26 season, as recorded by the club's statistics.

The forward has also gained importance in the Belgian national team. Stassin was called up by Rudi Garcia for the friendlies against the USA and Mexico in March, as part of the evaluation process leading to the 2026 World Cup.

Lucas Stassin steps up as Atlético defines its attack

The interest in Stassin arises at a time marked by Julián Álvarez's situation. The Argentine has a contract with Atlético de Madrid until 2030 with a release clause of 500 million euros, while the club has reiterated its stance of not considering his departure.

Barcelona has tried to sign Álvarez during the summer, yet Atlético has publicly turned down the possibility of selling him even with offers of 100, 150, or 200 million euros.

Therefore, Álvarez's situation does not necessarily mean that Stassin will be his replacement. Atlético is evaluating the market with the Argentine still linked to the team, considering the Belgian forward as an alternative whose cost ranges between 20 and 25 million euros.

Stassin's profile also fits as a lower-cost investment compared to other established forwards. Saint-Étienne paid around 10 million euros for his signing and has him under contract until 2028, according to data released this year.

The meeting with his agent, the next step

The upcoming meeting in Madrid between Stassin's representatives and Atlético de Madrid will be the next significant move in the process. The aim will be to understand the player's willingness and progress with the conditions of a transfer valued by Saint-Étienne between 20 and 25 million euros.

The French club, currently competing in Ligue 2 after failing to secure promotion in the playoffs against Nice, will need to decide whether it maintains its stance on Stassin or opens the door to a possible sale in the coming weeks.

In this scenario, Lucas Stassin awaits that meeting with Atlético de Madrid, while Saint-Étienne sticks to the economic reference of 20-25 million and the future of Julián Álvarez remains a pivotal factor influencing the red and white offensive planning.
