Hugo Larsson is one of the most coveted young midfielders at the moment. According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid has been following him for some time and, given his more than likely departure from Eintracht this summer, Los Blancos want to take advantage. These same outlets point out that he is a player highly valued by scout Juni Calafat.
Real Madrid is carefully analyzing the midfield market. It is normal for them to be looking at Larsson, 21, because the Swede is young and doing great work at Eintracht. Although he has a contract until 2029, Transfermarkt values him at 32 million euros. Therefore, he can be a good option for a big club willing to rebuild its midfield.
He fits the profile of a "modern midfielder" because he can play as an interior or box-to-box midfielder. He has the quality and a great physique to adapt to different roles in the match. He has played in a double pivot and, on some occasions, as a single pivot, because he is good at defending and playing the ball out from in front of the defense. Additionally, being a player with a good stride and long legs allows him to cut out many balls.
In England, several clubs interested in signing Hugo Larsson are willing to pay his transfer fee. He is a player with a great future, who with his characteristics can perform very well in the Premier. Really, almost all teams looking for a midfielder have the Swede on their list of possibilities because he has talent and isn't expensive.
Being on the list and clubs trying to execute the operation is a big gap. They must first carry out an exhaustive selection process, ruling out other options, and there are several central midfielders with great projection who can fit into the big elite teams.
Without going any further, Real Madrid has several players in mind. Another young player they like a lot is Kees Smit, who has been progressing very well in recent seasons.
For now, Real Madrid will not make a move until the end of the campaign, and they are in no hurry because they are very happy with how well academy player Thiago Pitarch is adapting.
