Barcelona make opening offer for Swedish U21 star

Barcelona are reportedly lining up a move for highly rated Sweden U21 international Lucas Bergvall.

La Blaugrana are on a list of major European sides planning a transfer move for Bergvall with the 17-year-old catching the eye for Djurgardens in 2023.

As part of their opening move to potentially bring Bergvall to Catalonia in 2024, Djurgardens Sporting Director Bo Andersson has already confirmed Barcelona have opened preliminary talks.

However, despite his firm statement, Andersson also confirmed the situation has not yet extended to a formal offer, which he is prepared for.

Bergvall joined Djurgardens from Swedish rivals BP in 2022, and he has been eased into the first team with two league goals scored so far this season.

As part of his first campaign at the club, Bergvall has rotated between a No.10 and a central attacker role, but his preferred spot is through the middle, with the ability to drop deep an creates chances as opposed to being a No.9.

The situation continues to evolve, and as per the latest report from Relevo, Barcelona are ready to table an opening €4m offer for Bergvall, plus performance related bonuses, and a sizeable sell on percentage included for Djurgardens.

Djurgardens will look to bring in the maximum possible fee for Bergvall with Italian side Inter Milan also expressing a growing interest in the teenage striker.
