Manchester United and Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing 20-year-old Swedish midfield sensation Hugo Larsson from Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt.
According to a report by Sky Sport Deutschland, Hugo Larsson is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Eintracht Frankfurt midfield sensation is also a target for Real Madrid. Meanwhile, the Bundesliga club will demand around €50 million to part ways with the Swedish prospect next year.
The rising stock of Hugo Larsson
Hugo Larsson has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Bundesliga since joining Eintracht Frankfurt from Malmo FF in July 2023. A native of Svarte, the Swede spent his formative years in his homeland, passing through the academies at three clubs and graduating from the youth division at Malmo FF.
The 20-year-old midfield sensation has turned out over 50 times thus far for Eintracht Frankfurt while chipping in with six goals and three assists. Larsson’s exploits for the Bundesliga club have helped him establish a foothold in his national team, making eight appearances thus far for Sweden.
Meanwhile, the Swedish midfield prospect’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Recent reports have linked Larsson with Premier League bigwigs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City. Manchester United and Real Madrid are also among the youngster’s prospective suitors.
A big move on the cards?
Manchester United’s interest in Hugo Larsson is understandable. The Red Devils are scouring the market for a midfielder ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window. So, several candidates, including Marc Bernal, have emerged on Manchester United’s radar, with Larsson also a viable target.
As for Real Madrid, the reigning La Liga champions have dearly felt Toni Kroos’s absence since the former German playmaker called time on his legendary career. So, several midfielders, including Gabri Veiga, have emerged on Los Blancos’ radar. Larsson is also an option worth considering, although the Eintracht Frankfurt prospect will cost a significant sum.
The Bundesliga club will demand around €50 million to part ways with the 20-year-old Swedish midfield sensation. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United and Real Madrid are ready to cough up €50 million to sign the Swede next year.
