Marius Broholm’s recent move to Lille has sparked fresh conversation around his potential, with calls now emerging for Barcelona to consider a move for the talented Norwegian midfielder. Despite only just completing his transfer from Rosenborg to the Ligue 1 club, Broholm is once again being linked with a step up to one of Europe’s elite.
The 20-year-old had been one of the standout performers in the Norwegian top flight in recent seasons, consistently impressing with his composure on the ball, vision, and attacking contributions for Rosenborg. His performances had not gone unnoticed, with several major clubs across Europe reportedly tracking his progress before Lille secured his signature.
Broholm Impressing at Every Step
Although his move to Lille is still in its early stages, expectations are high that Broholm will continue his development in France. The club views him as a long-term investment and believes he can flourish in the more competitive environment of Ligue 1. The midfielder himself appears motivated to make an impact and has already shown a desire to challenge himself in a more demanding league.
While Lille may provide the platform for growth, one of his former coaches now believes Broholm is already ready for a higher level. Jordi Gonzalez, who served as an assistant coach at Rosenborg, has publicly stated that the young midfielder has the qualities to succeed at FC Barcelona.
Former Coach Recommends Broholm to Barcelona
In an interview with Sport, Gonzalez said, “If I were Barça, I’d sign Marius Broholm. He’s highly self-confident, which allows him to adapt quickly to a dressing room. Players here in Norway are generally very noble, but in other clubs things can be more demanding. He’s got the ability to adapt to any situation.”
His comments highlight Broholm’s maturity and mentality, suggesting he possesses the psychological attributes required to thrive at a club like Barcelona. Although a move to the Spanish giants is not currently on the cards, his continued progression in France could open the door for such a transfer in the future.
For now, Broholm’s focus will be on establishing himself at Lille, but the endorsement from his former coach is yet another indication of the high regard in which he is held.
