According to a report by 90min, Manchester United are interested in acquiring the services of Lucas Bergvall. The teenage sensation has made quite a name for himself with impressive performances in the Swedish first division and a host of top clubs from across Europe, including Barcelona, are willing to make a move to land him at their club.
The Rise of Lucas Bergvall
Bergvall came through the ranks at Brommapojkarna before joining Djurgardens at the start of 2023, and he has since gone from strength to strength. He is already a mainstay in the Swedish club’s first team, and his impressive performances have also resulted in him getting his first cap for Sweden.
The 17-year-old has already featured in 29 matches for Djurgardens and has even contributed towards four goals. The midfielder has huge potential, and he is expected to be the next big thing in world football. His impressive rise and consistent performances have attracted the attention of top clubs, and there could be a bidding war for him in six months time.
Barcelona, Manchester United Want Lucas Bergvall
Barcelona are one of the clubs to be linked with the teenager. The Catalan giants are always on the lookout for young players who can further improve their squad, and Bergvall seems to be a perfect fit. Bo Andersson, the Djurgardens sporting director has already confirmed that the Spanish giants have contacted him to discuss the future of Bergvall.
Recent reports suggest Barcelona are preparing to put forward a bid for his services. While Xavi’s team are interested in the 17-year-old, they will have to battle it out with Manchester United to sign him. The Red Devils are keen on the Swedish international, and they are planning to initiate discussions with Djurgardens in the near future. The agents of the player are due to meet the representatives of United.
Talks Scheduled
Bergvall has previously trained at Manchester United back in the day. He is believed to be a fan of the club and would love to play for the Red Devils. As far as the English club are concerned, he is exactly the kind of player they are looking for as he can go on and help them in the long run and won’t cost a fortune at this point in time.
While it remains to be seen how much the Swedish club want for the 17-year-old, reports suggest that it could be a fee of around €8 to €10 million. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can beat Barcelona and others in the race to sign him.
