Inter Milan will miss out on the signing of young midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who is on the verge of a deal to join Barcelona.
This according to Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo, via FCInterNews.
17-year-old midfielder Bergvall has emerged as a standout player in his age bracket in Europe in recent months.
Turning eighteen at the start of next month, the Swede has already taken significant steps within senior football for Djurgardens.
Bergvall has also starred for the Swedish national team at youth team level. He currently plays for the Under-21 side.
The teenage midfielder possesses a combination of height, strength, and technical quality on the ball that has made him adept in the midfield battle despite his relatively young age.
A key strength of Bergvall’s is his tendency to pick his head up and make decisive passes and runs on the counterattack.

Not very surprisingly, Bergvall’s form has attracted a fair bit of transfer interest.
This has come from some of Europe’s biggest names.
Inter have been tracking Bergvall for a number of months. The Nerazzurri see the Swede as a major option for their future of their midfield.
And it is Barcelona who are the team who have pushed the hardest to sign Bergvall.
Moreover, the young Swede has also made clear that his priority is to join the Blaugranas.
Therefore, Djugardens have accepted a bid from Barcelona to sign their young star midfielder.
MD report that Barcelona will pay Djugardens a fee of around €7 million plus €3 million in add-ons to sign the teenager.
Bergavll will not join Barcelona right away.
Rather, the Swede’s deal will be valid starting at the start of July of this year.
Therefore, Bergvall will stay in Sweden for the rest of the season. Then make the move to the Camp Nou during the summer transfer window.
