Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt seems poised to outmuscle Barcelona in the January transfer market, potentially leaving the Camp Nou outfit embarrassed. Both clubs are vying for the signature of Djurgardens’ rising star, Lucas Bergvall, but Barcelona appears to be at гisƙ of losing out on the deal to the Bundesliga team, currently sitting in sixth place. 

A Bild reрort suggests that Bergvall is leaning toward Franƙfurt, as they have presented his Swedish club with a comprehensive package valued at €8.5 million. In contrast, Barcelona’s offer to Djurgardens is around €6.5 million.

Bergvall, a 17-year-old central midfielder, has rapidly gained recognition as a prominent talent in Sweden. Last season, he made 28 appearances for Djurgardens, scoring two goals and creating another, marking a breakout campaign for the talented teenager. During this period, he ranked among the top central midfielders in Sweden, showcasing notable qualities in defensive play and ball retention in dangerous areas of the field.

Comparisons with prominent players like Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga, Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai, and Barcelona’s Pedri highlight Bergvall’s midfield prowess. However, financial constraints at Camp Nou may hinder Barcelona’s ability to meet the valuation for the highly sought-after ргosреct, who still has two years left on his contract with Djurgardens.

Frankfurt appears well-positioned to secure the young midfielder, hoping he will develop into the promising player Bergvall is anticipated to become. This situation underscores the budgetary limitations that Barcelona is currently facing, despite recent speculation linking them to a potential move for Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.
