JUST IN: First Agent now in London Carrington as He set to complete deal with Man United tonight, paperwork completed, deal announcement will be tomorrow
Manchester United has set its sights on acquiring the talented 17-year-old Swedish wonderkid, Lucas Bergvall, currently playing for Djurgardens IF, as reported by Fussball.news.
With 29 senior appearances already under his belt, Bergvall, a versatile player in central or defensive midfield, has garnered interest from various clubs, including Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, and Eintracht Frankfurt, valuing him at €8-10 million.
Despite United’s keen interest, the competition for Bergvall’s signature is fierce, and the lack of transfer funds this month poses a challenge for the Red Devils.
The club, currently navigating tight Financial Fair Play constraints, may struggle to afford a permanent transfer.
Bergvall, who has previously trialed with United at the age of 14 and holds a fondness for the club, might see a move delayed due to financial considerations.
Eintracht Frankfurt, actively pursuing a transfer agreement with Djurgardens IF this month, is reportedly prepared to pay €9 million for the young midfielder and integrate him into their first team immediately.
Given United’s financial constraints, unless they escalate their interest with a formal approach, Eintracht Frankfurt appears poised to secure the promising Swedish talent in the coming days.
If playing time is a priority for Bergvall, the Bundesliga side could offer him regular minutes, potentially swaying his decision away from Old Trafford.
