Barcelona and Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs interested in 18-year-old Swedish attacking sensation Momodou Sonko.
According to a report by Swedish outlet Expressen, Momodou Sonko is gaining popularity in the market. Barcelona and Liverpool are among the clubs keen on signing the 18-year-old attacking sensation. BK Hacken might lose the young winger for a club-record sale in the near future.
Who is Momodou Sonko?
Momodou Snko has come leaps and bounds since joining BK Hacken in 2020. He had spent most of his formative years with Vastra Frolunda, but the move to Hacken has served him well. The Swedish winger rose through the ranks at the Gothenburg-based club and made his first-team debut as a 17-year-old in August 2022.
Since then, the 18-year-old has seen his stock soar while establishing himself as a regular for BK Hacken. Sonko has enjoyed an excellent 2023/24 season thus far, amassing ten goals and five assists in 35 appearances. Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of Barcelona and Liverpool.
Barcelona or Liverpool: Sonko’s Next Destination?
Barcelona and Liverpool are renowned for constantly scouring the market for the brightest young prospects. Such an outlook has helped the two clubs sign current first-team stars like Pedri, Gavi, and Curtis Jones, among others. And they remain in the market for up-and-coming prodigies.
The Reds have shown interest in many young wingers, such as Luis Guilherme. The Reds are in a spot of bother over Mohamed Salah’s long-term future amid his links with Saudi Pro League clubs. So, it behoves Liverpool to comb the market for young wingers, with Momodou Sonko emerging as a viable target.
As for Barcelona, the Blaugrana might part ways with Raphinha and Ferran Torres next summer. The Catalan giants need to raise money to fund their transfers for the 2024 summer transfer window. But Barcelona will also have to replace Raphinha and Torres if they depart. Several youngsters, including Estevao Willian, have thus emerged on Barcelona’s radar. But Sonko is also an option worth considering.
The report has mentioned several other European bigwigs. But the opportunity to join Barcelona and Liverpool might be too hard to turn down. So, it will be interesting to see if a big move is on the cards for Momodou Sonko.
