Barcelona make initial €4 million offer for Swedish teenage sensation Lucas Bergvall

Of all of the departments on the field, Barcelona’s midfield would appear the best stacked with quality. In Gavi, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Fermin Lopez, and Marc Casado, the team has a core that can dominate Europe in the long run.

Yet, that does not stop Barcelona from looking for new recruitment in the department. The Catalans are constantly out on the lookout for the next big thing in midfield, and Swedish protege Lucas Bergvall is one such name.

Talks in place

As has been revealed several times before, Barcelona hold a keen interest in the young midfield sensation playing for Djurgardens in Sweden. Manchester United and Inter Milan are amongst the other parties interested.

Last week, an internal source from Djurgardens confirmed that Barcelona were in talks with the club for Bergvall’s signing.

“Yes, I can confirm that we have been in contact and talking with Barcelona. But in my world, it’s still not a negotiation. There was some contact with Barcelona last week. But this week we have not spoken to them,” he said.

Now, Matteo Moretto provides the latest update on the situation, reporting that Barcelona have gone on to make an official bid for the player.

The number on the table

According to the journalist, Barcelona’s offer for Bergvall is worth €4 million excluding variables. Further, it provides his current employers with a share of any future sale.

With this move, Xavi’s side have made a strong push in their chances of signing the in-demand star who is seen as one of Swedish football’s biggest gems.

Born in just 2006, the youngster has already made his way to Sweden’s Under-21 squad and is a regular starter at the club level.

Whether a move to Catalonia materialises and where he fits into the dynamics remains to be seen.
