Video: This is how Lucas Bergvall plays, the signing Barça will secure after Gavi's injury

We analyze the possible new signing that Xavi Hernández may add to replace the absence of the Andalusian player

FC Barcelona are clear that the club must strengthen the midfield line of the squad. The serious injury that Gavi suffered just a month ago has disrupted the plans of the coaching staff and also those of the board of directors. Given the problems that are piling up for the culé team in the midfield, it is almost mandatory for Joan Laporta and Deco to turn to the transfer market.

In recent weeks, several names of possible candidates to strengthen Xavi's team's midfield line have emerged within the culé board. Although the coach would like the club to bring in big names, the finances prevent it. In this context, the best positioned to arrive in the Catalan capital is Lucas Bergvall.

Who is Lucas Bergvall?

Lucas Bergvall, only 17 years old, is a Djurgårdens player who plays as a central midfielder. Despite his young age, he made his professional soccer debut with IF Brommapojkarna two seasons ago. That is, at 15 years old, which shows that he is a very talented young man.

2022 was the year when the Swede gained more prominence by playing 12 matches in the Swedish second division. Given his good performance and adaptation to professional soccer, Djurgårdens IF spotted his talent and didn't hesitate to secure his services. Just a few months after starting a new stint at the club, the midfielder became a regular in the coach's plans.

Lucas Bergvall, on FC Barcelona's radar

Lucas Bergvall, with just a couple of starts, already showed that he was different from the rest. Despite his young age, the Swede appears to be physically developed (6 ft. 1 in.[1.86 m]), as he has a notable presence on the field. Not only that, the player shows he has excellent control of his body, always able to position himself correctly, whether to receive the ball or to protect it. In addition, for a central midfielder, he has the ability to arrive from the second line, which led him to score 5 goals last season.

Lucas Bergvall has an ideal profile for FC Barcelona's playing system, as he knows how to link up very well and has a broad vision of the game. The young man can play both as a central midfielder and as a pivot, which would provide Xavi with different alternatives. Not only that, by sometimes taking on a more defensive role, he has shown the ability to win the ball and also to be the one to start the play.

From the player's camp, they have already confirmed the first contacts with FC Barcelona, so the player's signing may be close to being finalized.
