Central MidfieldSweden17 years oldPlays for IFK Göteborg

1. Scouting report & biography

Executive Summary

Oliver Månsson, born on 4 August 2009, is a central midfielder for IFK Göteborg. After progressing through the club’s youth ranks, he made his senior debut in May 2026 and has already featured in 20 first‑team matches, 13 of them in Allsvenskan.

Playing Style and Key Attributes

The 184 cm midfielder is described by the club as a “sexa” with strong game‑reading, passing and duelling. EA Sports FC 27 rates his passing at 49, dribbling at 52 and defending at 49, while his pace (53) and shooting (37) are modest. The profile suggests a player comfortable in a defensive midfield role, able to recycle possession and win one‑on‑one battles. Physicality (47) indicates room for growth in strength and stamina as he matures.

Career and Recent Context

In March 2026 he was promoted to the senior squad and debuted on 4 May 2026 against Djurgårdens IF, a match that ended 0–6. Over two seasons he has accumulated 20 appearances, 13 in the league, and signed a three‑year elite contract that runs until 31 December 2028.

Market Projection and Transfers

There are no public rumours linking Månsson with a move, and no release clause has been disclosed. With a contract through the end of 2028, IFK Göteborg appear intent to keep the young Swedish talent as a core part of their future plans.
