Bournemouth can buy Hugo Larsson for a record amount

Bournemouth want to buy Hugo Larsson from Malmö FF.

According to Sportbladet’s info, the Premier League club has contacted the MFF – and announced that they want to buy the midfielder now, indeed.

The plan after that is to loan him outright, either to Lorient in Ligue 1 or back to MFF.

Hugo Larsson has been very successful in Allsvenskan lately. He was also rewarded with a place on the January tour where he made his senior debut for his country under Jan Andersson.

It was a great success

The midfielder aroused great interest from many clubs, among others, the Copenhagen football club was mentioned. But Larsson was clear FCK wasn’t an option now and quickly shot down the rumours.

Now Sportbladet can reveal that Premier League side Bournemouth really want to secure talent now. All so that its market value does not rise in the coming years. According to good sources, the club has contacted Malmö FF and wants to buy the midfielder.

It could be a standard deal

Nothing is ready or signed and it is not clear what the player himself wants. But if the transfer takes place, then according to Sportbladet’s info, the transfer, with bonuses and full package, beats Alexander Isak’s transfer fee to Borussia Dortmund and Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s transfer fee when he moved from MFF to Ajax. Isak cost around SEK 90 million when sold and Zlatan cost SEK 82.5 million.

He has the same owner

Malmö FF has a lot of money and there is little need to sell Hugo Larsson. Therefore, the club now sees an opportunity for a record deal. If MFF is also allowed to loan him out during 2023, that is also a positive side of the deal. Bournemouth was previously owned by American businessman Bill Foley, who recently bought French company Lorient.
