Premier League giants Manchester United and Newcastle United are reportedly monitoring Eintracht Frankfurt's talented Swedish midfielder, Hugo Larsson. The 22-year-old has impressed in recent seasons, but his club has set a hefty price tag.
According to Absolut Fussball, both English clubs are keeping a close watch on Larsson. The midfielder is contracted with the German club until 2029, meaning Frankfurt is in no rush to sell him this summer. Any team looking to sign him will likely face a significant transfer fee, with reports suggesting a valuation of €60 million.
This asking price is considered high for a player of Larsson's age and relative inexperience at the very top level. While he's acknowledged as a quality player with a promising future, Manchester United might find the €60 million figure steep for an unproven talent. Frankfurt may need to adjust their demands to make a transfer more feasible.
Manchester United are actively seeking to bolster their midfield with more technical skill and creativity, and Larsson could be a valuable addition. His potential to play for a major club is evident, but focusing on consistent game time in Germany to further his development is crucial for now. If he continues to improve, bigger clubs will likely come calling in the future.
Newcastle, meanwhile, are building a squad with an eye on the future. With Sandro Tonali's departure and Bruno Guimaraes facing transfer speculation, the Magpies are also looking to strengthen their midfield options. It remains to be seen if either Manchester United or Newcastle will make a formal bid for Larsson in the upcoming weeks.
