Yes: astra 1p 19.2e
Astra 1L will arrive at 24.5°W in the 2nd half of February. That is where Intelsat 905 used to be until Feb 2024.
1L is already inclined 0.9°, so it will be just to reserve the slot for Intelsat that has merged with SES.

Also Astra 1KR is going to move a bit, starting today: to 19.0°E.

After moving to 19,0°E, Astra 1KR is slowly moving into an inclined orbit, already exceeding +/- 0,1° (the limit of geostationary orbit). In December, they also turned off the station beacon at frequency 11703,00 V.
 
So now we have Astra 1L (launched 2007) at 24.5°W (incl. 1.1°), and Astra 1KR (launched 2006) at 19.0°E (incl. 0.2°).
Next one to move away slowly from 19.2°E will be Astra 1M (launched 2008), arriving at 19.4°E in early April.

Here is the SES Annual Report 2025, for those interested:
Impressive fleet with Intelsat added!
