According to talkSPORT, Manchester City have expressed interest in signing Lucas Bergvall from Djurgardens, joining the race with Barcelona.

While the club currently has no plans to acquire the 17-year-old this month, they may consider a move in the summer if the Swedish international impresses scouts in the upcoming months.

Manchester City has reportedly sent scouts to watch Bergvall, and the player is also being monitored by other clubs such as Barcelona, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Brighton.

As per his contract, Bergvall is tied to Djurgardens until December 2025. However, the club may consider a summer sale if he does not sign a new contract soon.

Comparisons have been made between Bergvall and England international Jude Bellingham due to their similar playing styles and technical abilities.

The 6ft 1in central midfielder is valued at up to €10m (£9m) by Djurgardens, and Manchester City appears to be in a strong position to secure his signature in the midst of competition from other clubs.

Regarding his profile, Lucas Erik Holger Bergvall is a 17-year-old Swedish talent with a height of 6ft 1in, playing as a central midfielder for Djurgardens IF.

He was born on February 2nd, 2006, in Sweden. Manchester City may keep an eye on this developing situation, and they seem to have the means to fend off other clubs in the transfer battle.

The potential acquisition of Bergvall would add depth and talent to Manchester City’s squad, showcasing their intention to invest in the future.
