Hugo Larsson has performed very well for Eintracht Frankfurt in recent seasons, and Premier League clubs are also paying attention to him.
According to a report from Absolut Fussball, Manchester United and Newcastle United are said to be focusing on signing the 22-year-old Swedish midfielder. He is under contract with the German club until 2029, so there is no pressure to sanction him from leaving this summer.
Clubs wishing to sign the player will have to pay a hefty fee. Apparently Larsson is worth 60 million euros. For a young player like him, the asking price is quite unrealistic. It is highly unlikely that Manchester United would pay that much for an unproven talent. He is a quality player with a bright future, but Frankfurt will need to be more reasonable with their demands.
Manchester United need more technical ability and creativity in the middle of the park and the 22-year-old could be a useful signing for them. The highly rated central midfielder has the ability to play for a big club one day. But for now I have to focus on my growth. Regular football in Germany will help him develop further and fulfill his potential. If he can develop further, he will have many chances to join a big club in the future.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are considering building a team for the future, so it’s no wonder they are keen on the player. Sandro Tonali has already confirmed his departure from the club, and Bruno Guimarães has also been linked with his departure. We need more quality in the middle of the park.
It will be interesting to see whether either club decides to make a formal offer to Larson in the coming weeks.
