DBasia.news – FC Barcelona is reportedly interested in signing Jordan Larsson, the Spartak Moscow striker. From his name, it was immediately clear that Jordan was the son of Henrik Larsson, who is currently Ronald Koeman’s assistant coach at Barca.
Koeman, who is also a former Barca player from 1989-1995, appointed former Barcelona striker, Henrik Larsson to help him in the coaching staff. Larsson is a former Barcelona striker in the 2004-2006 period.
In 2006 Larsson was the hero of Barcelona’s 2-1 win over Arsenal in the Champions League final through his goal. Larsson’s presence immediately linked Barcelona with Spartak Moscow striker, Jordan Larsson.
Familiar with the name? Yes he is the son of Henrik Larsson. When Henrik made his debut for Barca on August 29, 2004 his son was only seven years old, but was already showing good playing technique and pace.
Jordan was born in 1997 in Rotterdam and his father played for Feyenoord at that time. Like his father, Jordan defended the Swedish national team rather than the Netherlands and already has three caps.
There are no rumors linking Larsson to Barcelona. However, Spartak is on standby if Larsson becomes a target for Barca as his father is there. Spartak even made a statement to Sports.RU.
“We can guess who is Barca’s next big target (Jordan Larsson), but he is a very important player for us. Prepare 100 million euros to sign him or there is no point in talking to us,” wrote a statement from Spartak.
Jordan Larsson (23 years old) has scored 11 goals in 33 Spartak matches in the Russian League. Larsson was recruited by Spartak, owned by Leonid Fedun in 2019 from IFK Norrkoping for four million euros.
Barca is currently not focused on him in the process of reforming the club. However, given Barca’s need for a new striker to replace the 33-year-old Luis Suarez, Larsson’s name can be taken into consideration.
