Strasbourg to sign IFK Göteborg’s Swedish prospect Benjamin Brantlind

RC Strasbourg Alsace have reached an agreement with IFK Göteborg regarding the transfer of Benjamin Brantlind (17), according to reports from journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The young Swedish talent, who was also reported to have been courted by numerous clubs, including Club Brugge KV, is said to have ultimately chosen the BlueCo project to continue his career.

Having come through the IFKG academy, Brantlind made his professional debut there in March 2024. Since then, the attacking midfielder has made 30 appearances for the club, including 12 this season, during which he has found the net once. A Sweden Under-19 international, he has already represented his country four times and scored five goals.

A new signing with an eye to the future, whose profile fits in with Racing’s recruitment strategy over recent seasons – a young player with huge potential who can play a part in the club’s plans in the medium term.
