Crystal Palace and Brentford can open their doors for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Larsson.
That’s according to Sky Deutschland, who report the 22-year-old can join Crystal Palace or another English club. They make no mention of Brentford.
Larsson in talks with Crystal Palace
The midfielder joined the German club from Malmö FF in 2023 and played 119 matches, managing 10 goals and seven assists.
New Eintracht Frankfurt coach Adi Hütter has left him out of his core plans this season. Therefore, the Bundesliga side have given the 22-year-old permission to look for a way out.
After receiving the green light to negotiate his exit, he made a trip to London to hold talks with Crystal Palace and another unnamed Premier League side.
Hugo Larsson is on the verge of leaving the Bundesliga side, who have a set a €25m fee.
Brentford are second PL side
Transfermarkt.de back up Sky’s claim and then share their own updates about Crystal Palace and Brentford.
Having been left out of Eintracht Frankfurt’s project, the Sweden international is looking for a way out.
He’s already in London and is negotiating with the UEFA Conference League winners and an unnamed club. The latter, as per Transfermarkt, are Brentford. The London clubs can sign Hugo Larsson by offering €25m to the Bundesliga side.
The two reports make no mention if either of them is willing to make an offer and, if so, ready to meet Eintracht Frankfurt’s €25m price. Larsson’s preference among the two is also not clear.
He can play in the Europa League at Selhurst Park while the Bees haven’t qualified for Europe this season.
It’ll be interesting to see where the Swede will end up. What is certain for now is that he has no future at Eintracht Frankfurt and has to find a new club quickly.
Last month, we relayed news of Newcastle United as an option. The Magpies are no longer keen and are unlikely to enter the race at this stage of the window.
