Lech Poznań are closing in on the signing of Gustav Berggren, the central midfielder, from New York Red Bulls. The Polish champions have reached an agreement with the American club regarding a permanent transfer for the 28-year-old.
Gustav Berggren is set to travel to Poznań in the coming days for medical tests. If everything goes smoothly, he will sign a contract with Lech Poznań. The player previously played for Raków Częstochowa, from where he was sold to New York Red Bulls in July last year for approximately two million euros. In MLS, he made a total of eighteen appearances.
It cannot be ruled out that this transfer is connected to a possible exit of Antoni Kozubala, although this remains speculative. Meanwhile, Gisli Thordarson is expected to go out on loan. These moves may suggest a midfield reconstruction under the head coach.
As a central midfielder, Gustav Berggren could compete for a starting spot alongside players such as Afonso Sousa and Bartosz Salamon. His experience in both the Ekstraklasa and MLS could prove valuable in the pursuit of top league ambitions. Lech Poznań are currently preparing for the new season, and fans can follow the team’s progress on our squad page.
As a final detail, if the transfer is completed, Berggren could be available for the opening fixtures of the season. Lech Poznań’s first official match in the new campaign is scheduled for 19 July against Cracovia, which can be verified on our fixtures page. The final decision on the transfer will depend on the outcome of the medical tests, a key step before any contract is signed.
