According to The Mirror, IFK Norrkoping want a deal starting at £5million for teenager Isak Bergmann Johannesson.
It’s claimed that Manchester United have joined Liverpool and Juventus in the race to sign the wonderkid, who is attracting huge interest.
Swedish side Norrkoping now want an initial £5million, which isn’t a huge fee, but the deal could be worth much more in the future.
They want add-ons to take the deal to more than £10million, seemingly wanting to set themselves up for big pay days in the future.
Johannesson was born in England as he is the son of former Leicester City and Burnley midfielder Joey Gudjonsson, so a move to the Premier League could be appealing.
The Icelandic talent has racked up four goals and 11 assists in his 29 first-team games for Norrkoping, whilst he already has his first cap for Iceland.
A creative winger or playmaker, Bergmann fits what Liverpool want in terms of a young talent with huge potential, and their interest seems strong.
Aftonbladet reported last month that Liverpool are one of the main clubs interested, which Norrkoping scout Stig Torbjornsen appeared to confirm.
The deal seems similar to the one Liverpool struck for Harvey Elliott, and with Johannesson praising Liverpool’s ‘good football’, a move to Anfield seems realistic.
