- Man City interested in Stilanen
- Seen as another Lucas Bergvall-esque ace
- Sold Bergvall to Spurs
Per Italehti, City are eyeing a Spurs-esque swoop for a Djurgardens youngster this summer. The north London club signed Lucas Bergvall in an £8.5 million ($11m) deal in 2024 and City are now considering a raid on the Swedish club.
City have previous interest in Siltanen, who is a Finland youth international, and were linked with him before he joined Djurgardens. As a result of Bergvall’s sale, the club do not exactly need to sell, and have set an asking price of €20 million (£17m/$23m) if they are to let him go.
Were the youngster to move this summer, at Djurgardens’ asking price, he would become the most expensive Finnish player ever, surpassing Roman Eremenko, who moved for €13m (£11m/$15m) when he joined Rubin Kazan in 2011.
It remains to be seen if City will look to formalise their interest this summer or if they will continue scouting Siltanen as his career progresses. He has only played for the Swedish club for six months, having joined in January from Kuopio Palloseura.
