Now it’s official.
Benjamin Brantlind, 17, leaves IFK Gothenburg and continues his career at Ligue 1 club Strasbourg.
– My journey echoes from others who have been here, he says when he is presented.
At the end of June, Sportbladet could reveal that a transfer was close for the young midfield talent – in a deal worth just over SEK 20 million.
The day before “Blåvitt’s” first game after the summer break, the matter is steak.
“We wish him the best of luck in his continued career,” says IFK Gothenburg its website.
Brantlind has been one of Allsvenskan’s biggest talents for several years and made his series debut in June 2024, then as a 15-year-old. His contract with the club extended until the turn of the year.
Completed the negotiations
However, the last time in Gothenburg has been messy for the talent, where the negotiations for a contract extension have not been successful. Blåvitt therefore chose to end the negotiations in January.
– We have been at it for a long time with this process, but have not reached each other, said the club’s sports director at the time Hannes Stiller to Sportbladet then.
The 17-year-old’s last match in Blåvitt was in the 5–4 win against Västerås before the Allsvenskan summer break. Then he played 57 minutes.
In the Ligue 1 club presentation video of talent, he takes the opportunity to pay tribute to Alexander and Pontus Farnerud, who also represented Strasbourg during their active playing careers.
– Two brothers from IFK Gothenburg, Alexander and Pontus Farnerud, left an unforgettable Scandinavian imprint on the hearts of the supporters.
In total, there were 44 games for Brantlind in Blåvitt. In Strasbourg, he becomes teammates with Sebastian Nanasi.
