Manchester City have now joined Barcelona in the race to sign Lucas Bergvall from Djurgardens.
That is according to talkSPORT.
So, what is the situation involving Lucas Bergvall and Manchester City? Let’s take a look…
Manchester City monitoring Lucas Bergvall
Well – according to talkSPORT – Manchester City have sent scouts to watch the Swedish wonderkid.
The story also states that Barcelona, Eintracht Frankfurt and Brighton are keeping a close eye on Bergvall.
It is said that Manchester City have no plans to sign the 17-year-old this month, although there is the potential for a summer move if the Sweden international impresses scouts between now and the end of the season.
The Djurgardens No.21 is contracted to the Swedish outfit until December 2025 – so the chances of a summer sale seem likely if a new contract fails to materialise relatively soon.
Who is Lucas Bergvall?
Given his lack of experience in senior football, some may not know much about Bergvall.
If that is the case, then a comparison to a better known player might help, and the teenage central midfielder has actually been likened to one of the best around in Jude Bellingham.
It was 90min who compared Bergvall to the England international, as his 6ft 1in frame – combined with superb technical ability – make him a real handful for opponents in the centre of the pitch.
In terms of the price Manchester City might have to pay, 90min also mention that Djurgardens want up to €10m (£9m) to sell the 2006 born talent.
Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as Manchester City can surely afford to fend off the likes of Barcelona, Brighton and Eintracht Frankfurt in this transfer battle.
