Inter Milan Lead RB Leipzig & Premier League Clubs In The Race To Sign Sweden Under-21 Starlet | OneFootball

Inter Milan are ahead of RB Leipzig and teams in the Premier League in the race to sign young Sweden and Djugardens midfielder Lucas Bergvall.

This according to Italian news outlet FCInterNews. The outlet report that whilst the Nerazzurri aren’t the only team interested in the teenager, they have done the legwork.

Inter are considering their options in midfield for the future.

At the moment, a number of players in central areas at the Nerazzurri have their long-term futures in doubt.

For example, Stefano Sensi’s contract runs out at the end of next June. The 28-year-old ex-Sassuolo man has barely featured this season and is largely out of the project.

Summer arrival Davy Klaassen is another player who has been a relatively marginal figure so far.

And Henrikh Mkhitaryan has started nearly every one of Inter’s matches. And this has meant that the Nerazzurri want to extend the 34-year-old’s contract.

But Mkhitaryan’s age means that he is still undeniably an option for the present and not the future.

Inter Ahead Of Leipzig & Premier League Clubs In The Race For Lucas Bergvall

Therefore Inter are aiming to add a player who can grow into the team in their midfield options.

And Djugardens midfielder Bergvall is a major target in this respect.

Naturally, Bergvall’s experience in senior football is still relatively limited.

But the fact that the Swede has already made 24 top flight appearances certainly indicates early signs of maturity.

Inter are not the only big European club to have made contact with the 17-year-old’s entourage.

RB Leipzig want to bring Bergvall to Germany.

And some teams in the Premier League are also keen.

But according to FCIN, it is Inter who are in the strongest position.

This is because the Nerazzurri have already spoken extensively with Bergvall’s family and representatives. They feel that the Nerazzurri’s project and facilities would be a good fit for the young midfielder.
