Both Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano confirm Barcelona's interest in the player, but... Who is Lucas Bergvall? So far, he has eluded the European spotlight, but the interest of the 'Cules' is now arousing curiosity on the football scene.

Lucas Bergvall soon joined IF Brommapojkarna, the club where he trained and from which Dejan Kulusevski had previously left. It is a prolific youth academy for Swedish football, but two seasons later he signed for Djurgardens IF, his current club, in the country's top division. This year he has even played in the Conference League qualifiers.

Bergvall has outstanding technical qualities for his height (1.87 metres) and a huge potential to exploit. Barcelona, as market specialists such as Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano have reported, are working on signing him. They do not want there to be any surprise overtakes as on other occasions.

A raw talent that Barcelona want to sign as soon as possible. The Catalan giants intention is to be able to sign the Swedish player as soon as they reach an agreement with his club, but he would not arrive in Barcelona to join the first team until June, according to Matteo Moretto. In addition, the footballer has already expressed his interest in becoming a 'Cule', the first step for the Catalan side to make a formal offer. He would stay on loan at the Swedish club until the summer.

At just 17 years of age and having only made 25 appearances in his country's top division, he has already attracted the interest of Barcelona and, previously, Manchester United, who were interested in him. A Sweden youth international, he recently made his senior debut against Estonia.
