Sevilla FC: Lucas Stassin settles accounts with ASSE

Loaned with an option to buy to Seville at the very end of the summer transfer window, Lucas Stassin sent a small tackle to the leaders of AS Saint-Etienne.

Eager to leave Saint-Etienne for two years, Lucas Stassin was sold by the Greens at the very end of the last summer transfer window. Despite several offers, the 21-year-old Belgian striker finally committed to Sevilla FC in the form of a paying loan, with a purchase option (non-obligatory) estimated at 25 million euros.

During an interview given to The Last HourStassin returned to a turbulent off-season, passing a tackle to the Saint-Etienne decision-makers, who were too greedy for his taste.

Stassin: “Saint-Étienne initially demanded a crazy sum”

“It was a last minute transfer. There was a lot of interest. Several clubs inquired about the conditions, but Saint-Étienne initially demanded a crazy sum”lamented the Red Devil.

“That made things complicated. The price was too high. After all, I “only” played in the second division. added Lucas Stassin, clearly disappointed with the behavior of the Foréz leaders.
