In keeping with Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany, Manchester Metropolis have held preliminary talks over the potential switch of Hugo Larsson from Eintracht Frankfurt this summer time.
Regularly described as a “full midfielder” on the age of 20, Larsson prefers to play in a central, box-to-box position, although he’s fairly able to working as a No. 6 as nicely, offering additional safety for the defensive position. He joined Eintracht from Malmo FF in 2023, reportedly for €9million, and this season, he has made a complete of 38 appearances in all competitions for the membership up to now, scoring six targets and offering one help.
With Larsson’s contract working till 2029, Eintracht sporting director Markus Krosche calls for a price of €60million for his companies.
In the meantime, Metropolis’s title defending marketing campaign within the Premier League is in tatters, with Pep Guardiola’s facet considerably shedding momentum when Rodri tore his ACL early within the season. Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva aren’t wherever close to the degrees of earlier years, and the identical goes for Ilkay Gundogan whose return from Barcelona final summer time introduced a lot lower than Metropolis would’ve hoped for. Nico Gonzalez could but show his arrival this January wasn’t a waste of cash, however he hasn’t achieved a lot but, and the affect of Mateo Kovacic has melted away by way of striving to plug too many gaps.
A proposed arrival of Larsson would clearly present Guardiola with a midfield possibility for years to return.
